{"product_id":"welcome-to-the-world-baby-girl-a-novel-elmwood-springs-1","title":"Welcome to the World, Baby Girl!: A Novel (Elmwood Springs)","description":"A funny, serious, and compelling novel by Fannie Flagg, author of the beloved Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe (and prize-winning co-writer of the classic movie).\n\n“[This] tale of tough, eccentric, endearing women who first endure and then prevail. . . . will make you laugh out loud—and shed a few tears. . . . Welcome to the World, Baby Girl! is another rattling success.”—Richmond Times-Dispatch\n\nOnce again, Flagg's humor and respect and affection for her characters shine forth. Many inhabit small-town or suburban America. But this time, her heroine is urban: a brainy, beautiful, and ambitious rising star of 1970s television. Dena Nordstrom, pride of the network, is a woman whose future is full of promise, her present rich with complications, and her past marked by mystery.\n\nAmong the colorful cast of characters are:\n\nSookie, of Selma, Alabama, Dena's exuberant college roommate, who is everything that Dena is not; she is thrilled by Dena's success and will do everything short of signing autographs for her; Sookie's a mom, a wife, and a Kappa forever\n\nDena's cousins, the Warrens, and her aunt Elner, of Elmwood Springs, Missouri, endearing, loyal, talkative, ditsy, and, in their way, wise\n\nNeighbor Dorothy, whose spirit hovers over them all through the radio show that she broadcast from her home in the 1940s\n\nSidney Capello, pioneer of modern sleaze journalism and privateer of privacy, and Ira Wallace, his partner in tabloid television\n\nSeveral doctors, all of them taken with—and almost taken in by-Dena\n\nThere are others, captivated by a woman who tries to go home again, not knowing where home or love lie.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 044900578X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.044900578X.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Flagg, Fannie\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
