The life and times of Daisy Fay Harper, The diary of a girl growing up in the
South in the 1950's.
Fannie Flagg takes us on a journey to a South that only Southerners know, to a
time when "Blue Velvet" was played at the Senior Prom, and into the life of
Daisy Fay Harper, a sassy, truth-telling heroine who just can't stay out of
trouble or out of our hearts. What's more she tells us everything-from what (or
who) made her Daddy and Momma split up to what is really stashed in the freezer
of her family's malt shop.
Daisy Fay is coming of age in the Gulf Coast's Shell Beach, which is The End of
the Road of the South. The folks who head for Florida haven't discovered it yet
(and aren't likely to), but it's a dandy place to meet local VIPs like
hard-drinking Jimmy Snow, who uses his crop-dusting plane for both
transportation and carrying out revenge; former socialite, Mrs. Dot, who is
trying to hold Jr. Debutante meetings in the back of the Bait Shop; and Daisy's
own Daddy, who comes up with a mortgage scheme in which his daughter has to
return from the dead in a carefully orchestrated miracle. They're all part of
the fun that takes us down home, back to the 50s, and into the best story ever
written east of Texas... or maybe anywhere else.
