'A Tree Grows In Brooklyn' is a great book by Betty Smith.
'Anywhere But Here' by Mona Simpson
'Daisy Fay and the Miracle Man' by Fannie Flagg
'Welcome to the World Baby Girl' by Fannie Flagg
(both of these books are very southern, flagg is the author of 'fried green tomatoes at the whistlestop cafe')
'The Virgin Suicides' by Jeffery Eugenides

Seems like we have a very similar taste in books!
I also like "The Cat Who..." books by Lillian Jackson Braun.
