“A hilarious and heartbreaking first novel.” —Booklist
“Deceptively simple with its first-person narratives and everyday language, the story explores such weighty issues as the loss of innocence, the traditional roles of women in the South, and the plight of farmers.” —Library Journal

Author Bio: Rebecca Wells

Rebecca Wells, actress, playwright, and New York Times bestselling author of Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, Little Altars Everywhere, Ya-Yas in Bloom, and The Crowning Glory of Calla Lily Ponder, was born in Louisiana.
