Summary:
"Forced by illness to leave behind a successful life as a writer in New York,
Flannery
O
'Connor has returned to her family farm in Milledgeville, Georgia. She desires a quiet, solitary existence, but her mother, Regina, insists that she engage with the life of their small town, and she drags
Flannery
to the wedding of a family friend. Cookie Himmel embodies every facet of Southern womanhood that
Flannery
lacks: she is revered for her beauty and grace; she is at the helm of every ladies' organization in town; and she has returned from her time in Manhattan with a rich fiancé, Melvin Whiteson. Melvin has come to Milledgeville to begin a new chapter in his life, but meeting
Flannery
pushes him further than he ever imagined. She knocks down the suppositions on which his life is built, until the whole house of cards threatens to collapse. Melvin is not the only person in Milledgeville who feels that life is passing him by. Lona Waters, the dutiful wife of a local policeman, is hired by Cookie to help create a perfect home - a stark contract to the unhappiness in her own. When Lona is offered an opportunity to remember what it feels like to be truly alive, she seizes it with both hands, regardless of the consequences. In the aftermath of one tragic afternoon, these ordinary and extraordinary people are forced to take a good, hard look at the choices they have made."--Inside cover.
