Review "An intelligent, poignant, funny, wistful novel of expectations, love and rebirth." —Richmond Times-Dispatch"This is just the kind of book you'd like to take onto the porch of a clapboard house, to read curled up in a wicker chair with a glass of iced tea at your side." —Houston Chronicle Read more About the Author Lois Battle's seven novels include Bed and Breakfast, Storyville, War Brides, and A Habit of the Blood, (all Penguin).

Not for me
This book could have been so much better. Characters go on tangents that don't have anything to do with the story and do nothing to help things along. I've had this book for a week or so and expected to be done with it. Instead, I'm halfway done because I put it down and didn't wanna pick it back up! It'll be a struggle to finish it.Edited on 12/3/16- Finished it. I wanted to like this book, but I didn't. I wish it had been more about the factory ladies and less about Bonnie. I also wish the factory workers hadn't been made out to be a bunch of ignorant rednecks. Being down on your luck doesn't mean you're ignorant. I see that this book has gotten some good reviews, it just wasn't for me.

Fun book and easy reading.
Exceeded my expectations. Great book clean humor. Was glad to there are others books based on these ladies. Inexpensive in paper but I love my Kindle paper white!

Full of Enjoyable Southern Quips & a good story, too
This was a fun read, but more for the Southern one-liners, quips, and expressions than for the story-line. I'd recommend it, though, for a light-hearted, fun read.

I'm not finished with reading it yet, but so far it's full of cliches (mostly situational).
