Fiction
Sometimes you have to return to the place where you began,
to arrive at the place where you belong. It’s the early 1970s. The town of Ringgold, Georgia, has a
population of 1,923, one traffic light, one Dairy Queen,
and one Catherine Grace Cline. The daughter of Ringgold’s
third-generation Baptist preacher, Catherine Grace is quick-
witted, more than a little stubborn, and dying to escape
her small-town life. Every Saturday afternoon, she sits at the Dairy Queen,
eating Dilly Bars and plotting her getaway to Atlanta. And
when, with the help of a family friend, the dream becomes a
reality, she immediately packs her bags, leaving her family
and the boy she loves to claim the life she’s always
imagined. But before things have even begun to get off the
ground in Atlanta, tragedy brings Catherine Grace back
home. As a series of extraordinary events alter her
perspective–and sweeping changes come to Ringgold itself–
Catherine Grace begins to wonder if her place in the world
may actually be, against all odds, right where she began. Intelligent, charming, and utterly readable, Looking for
Salvation at the Dairy Queen marks the debut of a talented
new literary voice.
