Leia Birch Briggs, a successful comic book illustrator, discovers that she’s pregnant after a one-night stand. Her own problem is soon overshadowed by those of her conventional Southern family: her sister’s marriage is in shambles and her grandmother has been hiding her advancing dementia with the help of a close friend. Just when Leia thinks she has a plan to help them all, a family secret comes to light that changes everything. The quirky characters, southern charm, and humor perfectly offset the weightier themes of racism, illness, and family conflict. The audiobook is brilliantly read by the author and brings the characters to life.
