The lives of the three McBroom sisters of Tallulah,
Tennessee, were tangled before the eldest, Eleanor,
discovered their mother hanging from the Venetian
blinds—and the years have done little to comb out the
knots. Now a drunken encounter with the midnight train has
left brash, much-married Jo-Nell near death, compelling
agoraphobic Eleanor to summon marine biologist Freddie home
from California—where she fled after being expelled
from med school following a daring gall bladder heist. At
last the McBroom sisters are together again, to face old
fears and new catastrophes as they cheerfully deflect every
flaming arrow that outrageous fortune fires their way.
With wit and loving compassion, Michael Lee West
introduces us to an indomitable family of eccentric
survivors in an unforgettable novel of cruel fate, bad luck,
and unassailable resiliency.
