The Kudzu that Ate Yazoo City is a collection of stories that chronicle William "Junior" Jenkins' growing up during the 1950s and 1960s in Yazoo City, Mississippi. Influenced by a large family, poverty, faith, and the ever-present kudzu vine, Jenkins mingles fact, fiction, and homegrown wisdom to remember those "cotton picking days" in the Mississippi Delta
WILLIAM L. JENKINS, author of church history and genealogy, offers an autobiographical mixture of fact and fiction. Dr. Jenkins, an elder in the United Methodist Church, has experience in technology management and is a university professor. The Yazoo City native now lives with his wife, Anita, in San Diego, California.
