Two women--one black, one white--develop a bond while in a university classroom. As academics, their impulse is to write a book about how, despite different life experiences growing up in the deeply segregated South of the 1950s and 60s, they have wound up in similar circumstances. Naïve does not even begin to describe these two women as each reviews her own past and they meld their stories. They are rendered nearly speechless as they identify one powerful parallel after another. Race frames the project, but family, love, hard work, and integrity create the picture inside that frame. This book will touch anyone who values personal history, family ties, the pain and joys of life, and the deeply moving gift of reflection.
Life down South just got a whole lot sweeter in Susan Schild’s new novel about a woman whose happily-ever-after is about to begin...whether she’s ready for it or not. Finally, just shy of forty years old, Linny Taylor is living the life of her dreams in her charming hometown of Willow Hill, North Carolina. The past few years have been anything but a fairy tale: Left broke by her con man late-husband, Linny has struggled to rebuild her life from scratch. Then she met Jack Avery, the town’s much-adored veterinarian. And she’s marrying him. Everything should be coming up roses for Linny. So why does she have such a serious case of pre-wedding jitters? It could be because Jack’s prosperous family doesn’t approve of her rough-and-tumble background. Or that his ex-wife is suddenly back on the scene. Or that Linny has yet to win over his son’s heart. All these obstacles—not to mention what she should wear when she walks down the aisle—are taking the joy out of planning her wedding. Linny better find a way to trust love again, or she might risk losing the one man she wants to be with—forever...
