This story goes back in time to witness what caused Tallulah’s family to disintegrate in the 1950s and 1960s south. The characters were well-developed and I always love the particular and peculiar southern perspective. My only complaint was that the book almost tried to cram too many issues into the story - mental illness, racism, war, social protest, civil rights and coming-of-age. Overall an emotional and enjoyable southern story.
