Fannie Flagg, TV, Film, and stage actress, writer, producer and performer is above all a bestselling author, whose books appeal to readers who love recognizable human characters, the saving graces of the much-maligned middle class and small-town life, and the daily contest between laughter and tears. She lives in California and Alabama.
In this companion novel to Welcome To The World, Baby Girl, Fannie Flagg revisits the residents of Elmwood Springs, tracing their lives and loves from 1948 to 2000. Elmwood Springs is a small town in Southern Missouri where everybody knows everybody else. As the story begins, the Second World War has ended and the mood is cheerful. Neighbour Dorothy continues to broadcast her successful radio programme from her own living room and the rest of the state is able to listen in on the antics of her wayward children. One day the Oatman Family Southern Gospel Singers arrive in town, and before they're gone again, they've left one member in town and taken a resident with them. Betty Rae Oatman is the member who stays to enjoy the simple life of a small town, but who soon finds herself in the biggest house of them all. Fannie Flagg's books are perfect feelgood reading and she certainly delivers once again, combining comedy, romance and excellent storylines to produce yet another rich and poignant tapestry of small-town America.
