About the Book

Between, Georgia: A Novel

Joshilyn Jackson's bestselling first novel, Gods in Alabama, generated a storm of praise from critics and colleagues. Now Jackson delivers a new tale that will make you both laugh and cry- the story of a Southern woman caught between a decades-old family feud and the realization of her own dreams.

BETWEEN, GEORGIA
Nonny Frett understands the meanings of "rock" and "hard place" better than any woman ever born. She's got two mothers, "one deaf-blind and the other four baby steps from flat crazy." She's got two men: her husband, who's easing out the back door; and her best friend, who's laying siege to her heart in her front yard. She has a job that holds her in the city, and she's addicted to a little girl who's stuck deep in the country. To top it off, she has two families: the Fretts, who stole her and raised her right; and the Crabtrees, who lost her and can't forget that they've been done wrong.

In Between, Georgia, population 90, a feud that began the night Nonny was born is escalating, and a random act of violence will set the torch to a thirty-year-old stash of highly flammable secrets. This might be just what the town needs, if only Nonny wasn't sitting in the middle of it...
