Meet Maggie Fortenberry. To others, her life seems pretty much perfect - she's beautiful, charming and successful, just as you'd expect of a former Miss Alabama. But, in fact, Maggie is perfectly miserable. By now she should have been living in one of the elegant houses on Red Mountain with the adoring husband and 2.5 children. Instead, she makes a living selling that dream to others - through her estate agency Red Mountain Realty, where lately business has been going from bad to worse.
But just as Maggie is about to give up hope, she comes up with the perfect plan. And that's when strange things start happening. As Maggie finds herself catapulted into one surprising discovery after another, she learns valuable lessons about the nature of friendship, the challenges of modern life and the dangers of impossible dreams. She also learns that everybody, dead or alive, has at least one little secret . . .
I Still Dream About You is a delectable romp of a novel. Part murder mystery, part feel-good comedy, it bursts with the Southern charm and good, old-fashioned wisdom that have become Fannie Flagg's hallmark worldwide.

Flagg is a consummate storyteller ― Guardian
This deliciously indulgent novel is as charming as Scarlet O'Hara and as comforting as a mug of cocoa. ― Easy Living
A tale so seductive and readable that it's almost impossible not to be charmed -- Lesley McDowell ― The Herald
[A] whimisical hearstring tugger ... detailed with Flagg's trademark light touch and a sincere wit that's heavier on heart than sass ― Publishers Weekly

Maggie Fortenberry is a character who answers the question "what happens to old beauty Queens?" She's living alone and decides after years of carrying on following the death of her close friend and employer Hazel that it's time to go. She devises a plan of beautiful elegance to make sure she goes out without fuss and trouble, then starts.
The many twists and turns which keep putting her plans on hold are inventive and often downright funny. There's a body in a trunk, a herd of goats and some turkish dancers, and some true friendship to keep putting off the final day of Maggie's life. Characters like Brenda, Maggie's impressive friend and future Mayor of Birmingham, Babs Bingington the beast of Birmingham and Ethel, the grand old lady of house sales are well written and shaped, you'll certainly remember meeting them.
An all-American book, that anybody can enjoy.
Full of well rounded, charming and insightful characters and a satisfying story line
It's like chicken soup for the soul, hearty, restorative and warming.
The only gripe I have is that the image on the book seems to bare no significance at all to the book itself.
