Product Description
Product Description
The time: 1946 - 2000. The place: Elmwood Springs, Missouri. Right in the middle of everywhere, which could be anywhere. World War II has ended and the joyous transitions to peace are being - mostly - embraced. Bobby Smith, ten, is the effervescent son of the well-known radio hostess Neighbour Dorothy, who broadcasts every day from her living room, via the power in her backyard, to an eager, and, at times, lonely audience. And, meet the Oatman Family Southern Gospel Singers at a pharmaceutical convention in Memphis, where they blow the place away; Hamm Sparks, a super-salesman everyone likes and trusts, who soon sells all of Missouri; and the phenomena known as the Sunset Club, Dinner on the Ground and the Funeral King.
About the Author
Fannie Flagg, TV, Film, and stage actress, writer, producer and performer is above all a bestselling author, whose books appeal to readers who love recognizable human characters, the saving graces of the much-maligned middle class and small-town life, and the daily contest between laughter and tears. She lives in California and Alabama.
