Product Description
by Jamie Langston Turner (Author)
"Perry couldn't help wondering how different his life would have been had this woman actually been his grandmother." In Derby, South Carolina, an unlikely friendship is forged between two people who are poles apart in every way. In this novel, the Deep South meets the Midwest, youth meets age, the well-churched meets the unchurched, the extrovert meets the introvert. With characters you'll never forget, this colorfully realistic story portrays the unpredictable adventure of living life, with all its messiness and order, its longings and regrets, its sorrows and surprises. From the Greenville (SC) News by staff writer Deb Richardson-Moore on December 31, 1995: "As Turner weaves her tale with a wealth of vivid detail, she avoids both sentimentality and patness."
