One thing you could rely upon in Cold Sassy, Georgia, was that word got around--fast. In the event the preacher's wife's petticoat showed, the girls would make the talk last weekly. But on July 5, 1906, things took a scandalous turn. That was the day E. Rucker Blakeslee, proprietor of the overall store and barely three weeks a widower, eloped with Miss Love Simpson--a woman half his age and, worse yet, a Yankee! On that day, fourteen-year-old Will Tweedy's adventures began, and an unimpeachably pious town came alive.
As the newlyweds' chaperone, conspirator, and confidant, Will is privy to his renegade grandfather's second adolescence. Meanwhile, Will does some growing up of his own. He gets stepped on by a train and lives in order to about it, and he kisses his first girl and survives that too. Author Olive Ann Burns has given us a timeless, funny, Southern romance.
