Michelle Lee West, the author of Mermaids in the Basement and Mad Girls in Love is graciously providing a signed copy of each of these novels to one of our lucky Book Bloggers! Michelle writes about Southern women and I really enjoyed Mermaids in the Basement when I read it last year. She is clearly an animal lover and loves living on the farm. I think whoever wins these books will simply be charmed.
Reeling from the loss of her mother, plagued with a bad case of writer’s block (and don’t even talk about those extra twenty pounds), Renata DeChavannes feels as though everything is just plain wrong. And that was before the tabloids caught her sweetheart, filmmaker Ferg Lauderdale, sharing an intimate squeeze with Hollywood’s hottest young tamale.
But the granddaughter of the formidable Honora DeChavannes possesses more hell than belle in her backbone and she’s about to reclaim it. Heading south to Honora’s home on the Gulf Coast, Renata is determined to stop feeling like a wilted gardenia and emerge as the unstoppable kudzu her beloved grandmother proudly proclaimed she would be. But for that to happen Renata’s got to face some not-so-genteel ghosts from her past, discover the truth about the mother she desperately misses, and make peace with the first man who abandoned her and broke her heart: her handsome and distant father.
Michael Lee West’s indomitable G.R.I.T.S. (Girls Raised in the South) are back—enduring rough times with all the grace and outrageous flair expected of true Southern heroines.
Bitsy Wentworth—fleeing yet another relationship nightmare in a “borrowed” red Corvette, with her baby daughter and a recently acquired “demon child”—has an APB out on her for attempted murder (she broke her ex-husband’s nose with a frozen slab of ribs that she purchased at the Piggly Wiggly). Her mama, Dorothy, is writing letters to First Ladies from inside the Central State Asylum, while Aunt Clancy Jane has completed her inevitable progression from hippie to local Crazy Cat Lady. Three generations of unforgettable Crystal Falls, Tennessee, women—and the men they attract, enrage, and confound—are courageously plowing through tumultuous lives of compound disaster . . . and hoping the chaos the next wrong step leads to won’t be insurmountable.
