Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Anna Lutz Abbot thinks she has her independence, and therefore her happiness, intact. She is a capable woman, a sensible woman, not someone given to risky living.

This all seems to be true enough until her lovely daughter returns from college for the summer a very different person, her wild and wonderful ex-husband arrives, and her flamboyant new best friend takes up with her daddy, turning a hot summer into a steaming one--only to be cranked up another ten degrees by Anna's own fling with Arthur, who is, heaven help us, a Yankee. All the action unfolds under the watchful eyes of Miss Mavis and Miss Angel, her next-door neighbors of a certain age, who have plenty to say about Anna's past, present, and future.

Review:

"Oh, Lawd, Anna's just going to have to sit on the porch and guzzle sweet tea and talk some more. And she's not the only one in this plot crowded with problems. Good-natured, just-us-girls babblefest." Kirkus Reviews
