Cassandra King, wife of author Pat Conroy, is a wonderful writer in her own right. Her novels are so realistic that you feel that the characters are not fiction but real. This is the story of a 20 year old who inherits a home and business. She must also deal with her disabled husband. A terrific read.

Cassandra King provides a wonderful story of small-town America and the people who populate it. Clarkesville just happens to be in Alabama, but it could just as easily be Arkansas, South Carolina or Texas. From the patriach who thinks he runs the family to the former football star with the hairdresser wife, we all know people who behave the way these folks do. Ms. King's got another winner - just as good as The Sunday Wife or Same Sweet Girls.
