Women's Fiction
When Ibby Bellβs father dies unexpectedly in the summer of 1964, her mother unceremoniously deposits Ibby with her eccentric grandmother Fannie and throws in her fatherβs urn for good measure. Fannieβs New Orleans house is like no place Ibby has ever beenβand Fannie, who has a tendency to end up in the local asylumβis like no one she has ever met. Fortunately, Fannieβs black cook, Queenie, and her smart-mouthed daughter, Dollbaby, take it upon themselves to initiate Ibby into the ways of the South, both its grand traditions and its darkest secrets.
