Kudzu Debs

Cathy Holton writes a very entertaining book with plenty of laughs. She is southern humor at its best!

Another Winner!!

Ok...just to let you know right off, if you're interested in reading this book, you MUST read 'Revenge of the Kudzu Debutantes' first. There are many references and comments that could seem dead-end if you haven't read the first book. That said...what a FABULOUS sequel! I loved it just as much as the first. Virginia Redmon is out to seek revenge on her ex daughter-in-law Nita for ruining her sons life (deservidly) and causing him to lose his law practice, which happened to be Virginia's main source of income. Virginia is the type of character you just LOVE to hate. While you're always rooting for Nita to stick-it-to-her, you can't help but look forward to whatever evil plan Virginia will come up with next. Now, while there were some things that may have seemed a bit far-fetched (like the whole adoption thing, it was quite a stretch for me to believe how Nita figured everything out) the ending was very satisfying. I just love Nita, Lavonne, and Eadie, and I can't wait for Ms. Holton's next novel. Hopefully it'll center around these three fun, martini-loving women again!

There seems no way to make you people enter my address correctly and so all orders are mis-delivered. That is the reason I do not often do business with you

Cathy Holton does it again

The author has done it again with a witty and laugh out loud funny novel! I could not put down her first novel and this one is just as good. If you want a great read and to laugh from cover to cover then read the latest goings on with Nita, Lavonne, and Eadie! Cathy Holton's novels should not be missed.

Even better than her first novel

In Secrets of the Kudzu Debutantes, the triumvirate of Nita, Eadie and Lavonne return in true form with high spirits, scheming minds and great fun. All three women seem lonely and confused with their male relationships: a neglected marriage, a potentially disastrous marriage to a young carpenter and the solo life of a bright workaholic. Despite their men, these three women know how to work together, bond and indulge in shakers of martinis as they once again plot with delight. While on the one hand, they are a sorry lot, on the other they are smart, lovable and laughable. While focused on Ithaca, this novel slips to New Orleans, Amelia Island, New York and more where we get a glimpse of worlds larger, but perhaps no different from their small hometown. Regardless of whether we share these women's lives, we can see glimpses of our ourselves not only in too small Ithaca but also at nursing home,tennis courts, bars and hotels.
