In Cold Sassy, Georgia, news travels quickly. When Grandpa E. Rucker Blakeslee announces his intention to marry the young milliner, Miss Love Simpson, just three weeks after Granny Blakeslee's passing, the town is abuzz by dinner time. Young Will Tweedy finds himself at the center of this scandal, grappling with jealousy and intrigue over his grandpa's new bride. As the chaperone and confidant to the newlyweds, Will witnesses his one-armed grandfather's second adolescence while navigating his own journey into maturity. He survives a train accident, shares his first kiss, and learns about life and love in a small Southern town. Olive Ann Burns crafts a timeless, humorous novel that captures a romance that stirs the entire community and portrays the pivotal year when childhood fades into adolescence. The characters are a blend of wisdom and eccentricity, embodying both piety and irreverence. This setting serves as the perfect backdrop for the debut of a storyteller with remarkable energy and style.
