I'm very excited to read & review this book! I received this book for review. To my surprise after opening this book it was signed & inscribed by Barbara herself & also had a bookplate size book advertisement inside that was inscribed as well. I have come across a few signed/inscribed books in the past at used bookstores & thrift stores. A couple of those books being in the free bins no less! Books that just happened to catch my eye for whatever reason & after getting them home discovering the inscriptions. Which was exciting, but this is the first book that has ever been actually inscribed for me & I must admit it's a huge thrill! I might, MIGHT have jumped up & down a little with excitement...just maybe...just a small jump or two! I've cracked the first couple pages, but can't wait to really dive into this book! So, of course I have to share with all of you a photo of the inscription! ; )
From the back cover: Driving home from work on a summer afternoon, Melba Burns witnesses a nightmare collision. She abandons her car, quits her job, & stops driving. The wreck ends Melba's desire for success at any cost; she retreats into her beloved old farmhouse yearning for a simpler peace. But her peace has never met Melba's stunning new roommate JoLee Garry, a magnet for messes & trouble. JoLee brings a series of unexpected guests who transform Melba's solo life into something different, darker, & richer.
