Book Description:
Not since Reynolds Price's award-winning, bestselling novel Kate Vaiden has he told a woman's story in her own voice. Roxanna Slade is this woman.
Roxanna begins her story on her twentieth birthday -- a day that introduces her to the harsh realities of adulthood and changes the course of her life forever. From this day on, Roxanna is quick to share with the reader the intimate details of ninety years of life in North Carolina. Her beguiling tale is one that boldly reflects the high and low moments in the development of the modern South and the nation as well as the inner strength of a woman possessed of a piercingly clear vision, forthright hungers and immense vitality.

If you are a fan of the brilliant Reynolds Price's writings like I am, you will particularly enjoy this novel. He writes so beautifully, and so conversationally, that you feel like you are living with the characters right along with them. I admire such a novelist who can do this. The man can really tell a story!

Writing in Roxanna's voice, as he did with the heroine of the award-winning novel, "Kate Vaiden," Reynolds Price has produced a 'profoundly and provatively hope-filled book." Roxanna begins her story on her twentieth birthday- a day that introduces her to the harsh realities of adulthood and changes the course of her life forever. Her beguiling tale {of the following decades} is one that boldly reflects the high and low moments in the development of the modern South and the nation, as well as the inner strength of a woman possessed of a piercingly clear vision, forthright hungers and immense vitality.
