Fiction
From the author of Mad Girls in Love comes this
lively multigenerational tale of six charming, unforgettable
Southern women -- a novel of love and laughter, pain and
redemption. Though she was born in Tennessee, Miss
Gussie is no country fool. A woman who can handle any
situation, she has her hands full with two headstrong
daughters who happen to be complete opposites -- dour
Dorothy and sweet Clancy Jane. Hoping money will heal
childhood wounds, Dorothy marries the owner of a
five-and-dime, while Clancy Jane gets into a mess of
trouble, running off with a randy tomcat who pumps gas at
the Esso stand. And then there are Gussie's granddaughters,
the smart but plain Violet and fancy-talking Bitsy -- a new
generation whose lives will reflect a nation's tumultuous
times. From Tennessee to New Orleans, from psychedelic San
Francisco to a remote Southwestern desert ranch, this funny,
poignant novel spans more than four decades as it vividly
recounts the universal loves, sorrows, and joys of women's
lives.
