Summary: Love, life, tragedy, and finding yourself
Comment: Michael Lee West has truly captured the voice of the Southern woman like no other writer. Continuing in the same vein as two of her previous books, West devotes each chapter to one "voice" bringing in a little extra detail that was missed by a previous character while simultaneously advancing the plot as well. From one sister who was almost killed to one sister who is almost afraid to step out the front door to another in a precarious marriage, West weaves the tapestry of this story like no other author can.

Summary: Southern Fiction at its Best
Comment: I love the south. I love key lime pie and barbequed chicken and cole slaw and old ladies who wear funny hats and sitting out back under the old oak tree, sweat running down my neck dreaming of the northern Indiana winters of my youth. Okay. You caught me. But I do love southern fiction and Michael Lee West does it as well as it can be done. She's got the touch. Eleanor, Freddie, and JoNell have seen their share of death and disappointment and are now at a turning point in each of their lives. You'll love all three of them, as well as Minerva, the grandmother who raised them. I am definitely a Michael Lee West fan after reading AMERICAN PIE and CRAZY LADIES. She takes a story and twists it neatly into a comfortable read, one that was more interesting for me than watching people in an airport or eating lunch. Just plain good!!

Summary: Can't go wrong with this one
Comment: If you're a fan of great Southern literature such as CRAZY LADIES, DIVINE SECRETS OF THE YA-YA, or Jackson McCrae's BARK OF THE DOGWOOD, then you will love this book. As always, West gives us enough colorful characters to fill the pages of several novels and does it with enough zest and talent that they become larger than life, but not in a cardboard cut-out way.
While I did like CRAZY LADIES better than this effort, AMERICAN PIE is still worth your time and money. For that matter, read all of West's books.
