robyns_reading_habit 's review for:
Gods in Alabama
by Joshilyn Jackson
This is the story of a woman, Lena, who doesn't lie (or uses her own odd logic to tell only the truth), fornicate (no really for like 10 yrs), or go home to Alabama. We all know what this means.....something brings her home to Alabama.
Lena has a traveling companion as she head to see her white, racist family for the first time in 10 years.....you guessed it, her black boyfriend, Burr. But surprisingly this isn't the main plot of the story. Why hasn't Lena gone home in 10 years? What will happen when she returns and how will everyone react to Burr?
For a book that I found after circling the same library isle for a half hour, it was more intriguing then I could have hoped. Its just what I needed to a read in a time when I could not find anything to sink my teeth into. It moves well and just when you think you have the secret figured, well you really didn't.
This was my first Joshilyn Jackson and it will not be my last.
