Download The Education of Dixie Dupree AudioBook Free
In 1969 Dixie Dupree is 11 yrs . old and already a specialist liar. Sometimes the lies are for her mama Evie's sake - to make clear away a bruise brought on by her quick-as-lightning temper. And sometimes the lies are to spite Evie, who longs to leave her disappointed relationship in Perry County, Alabama, and go back to her much loved New Hampshire. But for Dixie and her brother, Alabama is home, a location of pine-scented breezes and hot, languid afternoons. Though Dixie is learning that the family she once presumed was happy has deep fractures, even her vivid thoughts couldn't concoct the situations about to unfold. Dixie records everything in her diary - her parents' battles, her father's taking in and his unexplained departure, and the introduction of Uncle Ray. Only once Dixie desperately needs help which is attained with disbelief does she realize how much damage her past lies have done. But she's courage and a heart that could yet prevail, forcing secrets in to the wide open and allowing her to forgive and be whole again.
