"Everybody has a story. You listen to their story, Honeygirl, and your story will come find you." Grand Lady spoke these words when Abby was just a girl, spending the summer in rural Louisiana, learning about the beauty and mystery of life. Now Abby is raising her own family thousands of miles away and has just one wish: that her daughter Hannah might be touched by the beauty of her 92-year-old Grand Lady's stories, before it's too late. But when Hannah finally does spend time with Grand Lady, the old woman crushes her tender spirit. And a mother-daughter journey home becomes an adventure of discovery about the importance of family and the healing found in forgiveness.

 “An entertaining foray into the South and an intriguing look at the intergenerational relationships of women. Rich regional details spice up the story and Gunn does a fine job fleshing out her characters. One of Gunn's best offerings to date.”
