New memoir from Memphis institution WILLIE BEARDEN!

"Mississippi Hippie" is a gripping memoir that delves into themes of identity, resilience, and the human spirit's unwavering strength. Willy Bearden's captivating storytelling sheds light on life's complexities, the impact of race, and a young man's quest to break free from societal norms.

From the heart of the mysterious Mississippi Delta, Willy Bearden embarks on an unforgettable journey chronicled in "Mississippi Hippie: A Life in 49 Pieces." Through poignant vignettes, Bearden, a noted Memphis author and filmmaker, paints a vivid picture of a bygone era, from the harsh cotton fields to the colorful characters of Rolling Fork's pool halls and beauty parlors.

Settling in Memphis and working as a liquor delivery driver opens doors to experiences beyond imagination. Despite a tumultuous upbringing marked by his father's struggles with alcoholism and family discord, Bearden finds solace in the protest music of the late 1960s, sparking his awakening and shaping his worldview.

As Bearden embraces the ethos of the hippie movement, he sets off on a transformative journey. With nothing but a backpack and a hunger for adventure, he hitchhikes across the country, immersing himself in the vibrant counterculture while grappling with the loss of loved ones, a poignant reminder of life's fragility.

"Mississippi Hippie" is far more than a memoir; it's a pulsating exploration of resilience, rebellion, and the enduring human desire to find a place to call home.

Super wide
Size: 13 Little Kid, Color: Taupe
They are oddly very wide. Great for kids with wide chunky feet but for us it was not cute

Solid Kids Sandals, Overpriced Like Most Kids Shoes 🌞
Size: 11 Little Kid, Color: Brown, Size: 11 Little Kid, Color: Brown
My son hasn’t worn these yet since it’s December in Indiana and sandals + snow obviously don’t mix. 😂 So this review is based on first impressions rather than long term wear. That said, these seem wider than a lot of typical kids’ sandals, which I REALLY appreciate since we tend to have wider feet in our family. #hobbitfeet The quality feels pretty decent overall. They’re described as lightweight, and while they’re not insanely lightweight, they do have enough weight to feel semi-sturdy and not flimsy or cheap. I like the style and color, and I think they’ll work well for my son once warmer weather hits. My main complaint is the price. At just under $24 at the time of this review, it feels a little high for kids’ sandals and for what these are. I really feel like $20 MAX would make more sense. Kids shoes are almost always priced like adult shoes, even though they clearly use less material, and that’s hard for me to understand and wrap my mind around. Overall, these seem solid for daily wear, I just wish the price was a bit more reasonable and affordable.

Great basic and timeless design
Size: 12 Little Kid, Color: Brown
These sandals are a great find! They’re super easy to get on and off thanks to the Velcro straps, which is a huge win for little ones learning to be more independent. The fit is adjustable and secure, so they stay in place well during all kinds of play. The cork-style footbed is comfortable and gives good support, and the overall design feels sturdy enough to handle everyday wear. They’re lightweight but still durable, and have held up really well so far. They also have a classic, versatile look that goes with just about everything, perfect for summer outfits. Overall, a reliable, comfortable sandal that’s great for active kids. Would definitely buy again!

Great option for boys or girls
Size: 13 Little Kid, Color: Black, Size: 13 Little Kid, Color: Black
This is really more of a unisex option for a sandal. I have sandals that look like this, and both of my children have worn this style. I ordered these for my daughter, with the plan to pass them down to my son if they're not too worn when she outgrows them. The style is very minimalistic, so it goes with lots of outfits. All the straps are easily adjustable, so you can get a good fit. I would say the length is true to size, but the width is maybe a bit wide. Nevertheless, the adjustable straps really help them fit well. They feel really sturdy and I appreciate that the sole has cushion to it. My daughter has worn these every day since I got them out of the closet and they're holding up well.
