| 0:00.0 | Welcome to From the Front porch, a conversational podcast about books, small business, and life in the South. |
| 0:08.0 | I don't know anything other than that it's only when something's damaged beyond repair, |
| 0:29.0 | that we realize how beautiful it was. |
| 0:32.0 | Rosie Walsh, the love of my life. |
| 0:36.0 | I'm Annie Jones, owner of the Bookshelf, an independent bookstore in beautiful downtown Thomasville, Georgia, |
