For radiant, headstrong Sophia and her shy and brilliant daughter Margaret possess powerful charms to ward off loneliness, despair, and the human misery that all too often beats a path to their door.

This is a wonderful book about three generations of strong women who refuse to be stereotyped. Beautifully written and inspiring. A piece of fiction that describes the kind of strength that a woman truly wishes for herself and her daughters.

This is one of my all time favorite books. I have read it 3-4 times and shared it with my daughter in law, who loved it too. What a group of women they are!
I don't really read her stuff. But, I figure a lot of folks do. So. Here it is!
Another Kaye Gibbons book that I enjoyed very much. Her characters come alive; Gibbons makes reader care what happens to every one of them.
This is a lovely book about a young girl growing up with her grandmother and mother during the 1920's until the early 40's in North Carolina. I loved this book - couldn't put it down.
I enjoyed it. If you're from North Carolina you will like it too. About 3 stubborn Carolina women around the 1930's.
Susan G. (I read this years ago and loved it, so when I saw a copy at a used book sale, I grabbed it to share.
Like all my other books, this book has been registered at BookCrossing.com. While it won't hinder your reading of the book, I'd sure appreciate a journal entry telling me what you thought of it.
absolutly wonderful,another one I just couldn't put down.
A good old fashioned type book about three generations of women.
