And in this early spring of 1952, there is ample opportunity for both—with sixteen-year-old and pregnant (by the Baptist minister) Olive Nepper, currently languishing in a coma after drinking pop laced with rose poison. But the plight of Olive and her family is hardly the only story spicing up the rumor mill in this small Southern community of unpredictable eccentrics, wandering husbands, and unsatisfied wives—and few local sins will be put right by home cooking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom Michael Lee West comes a beautifully rendered portrait of small-town Southern life, filled with humanity that brilliantly weaves comedy with dark calamity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWest, Michael Lee:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003eMichael Lee West is the author of \u003cem\u003eMad Girls in Love\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eCrazy Ladies\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eAmerican Pie\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eShe Flew the Coop\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eConsuming Passions\u003c\/em\u003e.
