Description
At the age of seventeen, Lucille Odom finds herself in the middle of an unexpected domestic crisis. Her mother has left the family home in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, to "start a second life." Her dad is obsessively pursuing his wife, while her sister's turned up out of the blue with a Yankee husband in tow.
As she helps guide her family through its discontent and establishes a new equilibrium, Lucille discovers herself a woman rich in wisdom, rich in humor, and rich in love.
