Customer Reviews

A wonderful novel about the new south.

Vicki Covington is one of my favorite writers and this is perhaps her best work to date. I know it is my favorite. Set in modern day Alabama, this is a wonderfully written story of simple people with normal problems. If you have ever read anything by Vicki, you will know that she treats all of her characters and her readers with respect. Her characters seem so real, her tales are so intriguing, but above all, she never resorts to overt vulgarity like some writers who think it is neccessary to shock their reader to keep their attention. Vicki has taste, talent, imagination, and has honed her writing skill to perfection.
