Fiction
In the throes of a quarter-life crisis, Jiminy Davis
abruptly quits law school and flees Chicago for her
grandmother Willa's farm in rural Mississippi. In search of
peace and quiet, Jiminy instead stumbles upon more trouble
and turmoil than she could have imagined.
She is shocked to discover that there was once another
Jiminy the daughter of her grandmother's longtime
housekeeper, Lyn who was murdered along with Lyn's husband
four decades earlier in a civil rights era hate crime. With
the help of Lyn's nephew, Bo, Jiminy sets out to solve the
cold case, to the dismay of those who would prefer to let
sleeping dogs lie.
Beautifully written, and with a sure grip on the tensions
and social mores of small towns in the South, Sweet
Jiminy will captivate its readers, and fans of Kristin
Gore's earlier novels will be intrigued and compelled by
this new direction for her fiction.
