An extraordinarily eccentric and witty novel that captures the south's customs and manners.

Quick, fluff read.A little drama thrown in. Follows 3 odd southern sisters and the roads their lives take back to their hometown. If you liked others by this autor you'll like this one. She has her own style which most either really enjoy or really don't.
