Set in a charming small town, the book is a heartwarming and humorous tale of love, friendship, and community. Daviess' writing style is engaging and vivid, painting a vivid picture of the Southern landscape and its vibrant characters. The novel is a quintessential example of early 20th-century Southern literature, highlighting the complexities and quirks of Southern life during that time period. Maria Thompson Daviess, a Kentucky native, drew inspiration from her own Southern roots to create the world of 'Phyllis'.
