by Fannie Flagg
This was my bookclub's June selection and my first Fannie Flagg. I really like her style of writing. It's a very good book! The subject matter was very interesting and I couldn't wait to turn the page to find out more. I've seen the movie Fried Green Tomatoes based on another of her books and it was...

I know several versions of this woman and while I understand how these women are made and why the...
