Query: lighthearted but poignant

Everything about this book is beautiful and full of life. You will fall in love with the lovable, if sometimes loony, characters and you will envy the bonds they share. The language is delicious...your senses will be astounded as you are brought into the hot and spicy Louisiana bayou. As a northern girl, I hardly thought I would understand that easygoing southern philosophy, but on the contrary! Ms. Wells's beautiful creation is fun for all, and it will undoubtedly have you alternating between hysterical laughter and sentimental Kleenex moments. This novel is a memorable one that will touch your life, most definitely.
