Loved this book! I'm a very nostalgic person. This book fulfilled the nostalgic vein of my body.....The book begins in the 1940s, goes through the 50s, 60s, 60, 80s, and into the 90s with the same family and town residents......As I was born in the 50s, the earlier part of the book really reminds me of childhood.....

Also the book's author was a newscaster on a Morning Show out of Birmingham, AL that we watched every morning Mon-Fri when I was a child in Alabama. Loved Fannie Flagg!

Last the book takes place in Missouri; I have lived in Missouri 31 years so I recognize a lot of the towns, etc used in the book.

Overall the book is very entertaining and another great read of Ms. Flagg.
