A lively multigenerational tale of six charming unforgettable Southern women--a story 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 her 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.
