Oh, how can it be that I have never read Fannie Flagg's books before? I got totally lost reading about two families: the Poole's of Point Clear, Alabama (present day) and the Jurdabralinski's of Pulaski, WI (past). If you are a fan of southern humor and angst, this is a perfect book to feed th...

Her worlds are the way we want to the world to be, the world we think of when we think back nostalgically to “the way it...
When I picked-up a copy of Fannie Flagg's latest book entitled The All-Girl Filling Station's Last Reunion from the store, the saleslady asked me if I'd ever read Flagg's A Redbird Christmas. When I told her I had not, she said that it's one of her favorite Christmas stories, and she rereads it ...
