Patton, Lisa

Patton's (Whistlin' Dixie in a Nor'easter) glimpse into Southern sorority life is far more about relationships among women and their support for one another. With a rich story line full of heart, it expertly tackles current social issues. Recommended for Karen White and Mary Alice Monroe fans.

Filled with Southern charm and eccentric characters, this eagerly awaited sequel is sure to please fans of the author's first novel as well as fans of women's fiction writers like Adriana Trigiani and Fannie Flagg. [Four-city tour; see Prepub Alert, 2/21/11.]
