My best friend lives in CT and I live in TX. She read this book and called me and said I had to read this book. I found it and read it and just fell in love with it! I must read!

this was a great novel..couldn'tt putt it down..lol
Haywood Smith's Queen Bee of Mimosa Branch is about a recently divorced woman who has to move home with her wacky family. She finds herself working at her high school job and chasing the "boy" next door like a teenager. Mix in shady politics and you get a very good read. Just be warned that the main character's new favorite motto includes the "f" word. This is the only reason I won't forward this book to my mom.

a fun read
Linwood Breedlove Scott returns to her hometown of Mimosa Branch, Georgia after her 30 year marriage ends. She moves right back into the household of "odd" (that Southern euphemism for crazy!) relatives, including her mom and dad, aunt and uncle and her alcoholic, always fishin' brother. Have they changed, or has she?
Lots of funny expressions and characters.
