Edie St. Claire is smack in the middle of what's going on in Conwell: her in-laws' general store, the Do-Si-Do Bar, and this small town's biggest scandal in years.
Her father is a crusty so-and-so who runs the town dump. Her wisecracking aunt is as fiery as her dyed red hair. Both live next to Edie and her young daughter on this dead-end dirt road.
Edie is an "I gotta go" kind of woman, pretty and direct, but she holds onto an old sadness: the death of her husband in Vietnam. She tries to ease her grief with his married brother, Walker.
But when the affair comes to a tragic end, Edie does her best to survive the blame with the help of her rough-sawn family and a badly scarred man who has arrived for his fresh start.
Genre: Literary Fiction
