Fic Jackson
This is a gorgeous book about families, love, and how love creates families. The characters are beautiful and flawed and I love the touch of mystery that Jackson always puts in her books.
Nonny Frett is in the middle of plenty of difficult situations. She has two families; the Fretts, who "stole" her and raised her right; and the Crabtrees, who lost her and can't forget that they've been done wrong. But Nonny has moved away from Between, Georgia to get away from all that. Still, problems seem to find her. While in the middle of a divorce, her husband tries to lull her back to their comfortable but unhealthy marriage and Nonny returns to Between to escape the bad situation.
Upon her return, Nonny finds that Between, Georgia, population 90, is ever the same. A feud that began the night Nonny was born is escalating, and a random act of violence will set the torch to a thirty-year-old stash of highly flammable secrets.
I was listening to this book on cd in the car and there were lots of times when I took the long way or sat in my car to hear what happened next. It didn't do much for my gas milage but it was great for my stress reduction!
I ADORE THIS BOOK!
