A laugh out loud story about a lovable, dysfunctional family, a fallen preacher, a wife abuser, and how two unfortunate looking children handle situations. "Walking Ivy's Path" is a humorous story about a chubby red-haired girl and a lankly fuzzy-haired boy growing up in the 1950's and 60's in rural Tennessee. Ivy's Mama moves George Washington Tucker in with them and Ivy makes it her life's mission to 'straighten him out." As Ivy and George grow up, they experience relatives who are 'outside the norm," while suffering the growing pains of adolescence.
