Book Description:
Anyone who has read the bestselling Mama Makes Up Her Mind or listened to Bailey White's commentaries on NPR knows that she is a storyteller of inimitable wit and charm. Now, in her stunningly accomplished first novel, she introduces us to the peculiar yet lovable people who inhabit a small town in south Georgia. Meet serious, studious Roger, the peanut pathologist and unlikely love object of half the town's women. Meet Roger's ex-mother-in-law, Louise, who teams up with an ardent typographer in an attempt to attract outer-space invaders with specific combinations of letters and number. And meet Della, the bird artist who captivates Roger with the sensible but enigmatic notes she leaves on things she throws away at the Dumpster ("This fan works, but it makes a clicking sound and will not oscillate").

Listen to this heartbreakingly tender, often hilarious, story from a writer who has been called a national treasure.

Characters don't get any better than this. A driveway down the street from me is flanked on each side by towering, colored "plaster" eagles. After this book, I always smile when I drive by them.

Quirky and amusing set of characters populate this novel. Enjoyable.
