Fiction
The beloved bestselling author of Crazy Ladies
returns with a funny and poignant tale that explores the
complex bonds between a daughter and her father.
Reeling from the loss of her mother, plagued with a bad case
of writer's block (and don't even talk about that extra
twenty pounds), Renata DeChavannes feels as though
everything is just plain wrong. And that was before the
tabloids caught her sweetheart, filmmaker Ferg Lauderdale,
sharing an intimate squeeze with Hollywood's hottest young
tamale. But the granddaughter of the formidable
Honora DeChavannes possesses more hell than belle in her
backbone—and she's about to reclaim it. Heading south to
Honora's home on the Gulf Coast, Renata is determined to
stop feeling like a wilted gardenia and emerge as the
unstoppable kudzu her beloved grandmother proudly proclaimed
she would be: "I'll just tell you, Sherman may have burned
the South, but kudzu will engulf it." But for that to happen
Renata's got to face some not-so-genteel ghosts from her
past, discover the truth about the mother she desperately
misses, and make peace with the first man who abandoned her
and broke her heart—her handsome and distant father.
