In the summer of 1956, the same year the novel Peyton Place unleashed to the world the notion that every woman is a sexual being, two spinster sisters decide it was just a matter of time before they ended up in the Mt. Horeb cemetery, remembered only as the Donnelly sisters of Pinetta, Florida, who never married.Essie, at thirty-three years old and the caretaker of her older sister, Jewell, refuses to wither away in loneliness while she sits slap-dab in the middle of their three-hundred acre farm. At daylight one morning, she pulled out an old detour sign from the barn and dragged it to the end of the farm lane. And waited. In no time, unsuspecting travelers are lured to the Donnelly's front porch and the irresistible charm of the spinster sisters.Their front porch overflows with laughter, gossip and tears, along with the answers to some long-held mysteries. In a twist of fate, a prison escapee, a handsome lawyer, an old woman with dementia and a one-armed black man and his goat decide the Donnelly farm is exactly where they are supposed to be.From the moment the first slice of the Donnelly sisters' famous buttered rum pound cake is cut and served, the folks of Pinetta are reminded of the value of friendship and the importance of community.
Sue Chamblin Frederick - Storyteller Extraordinaire She is known as a sweet Southern belle, a woman whose eyelashes are longer than her fingers, her lips as red as a Georgia sunset. Yet, behind the feminine facade of a Scarlett-like ingénue lies an absolute and utterly calculating mind - a mind that harbors hints of genius - a genius she uses to write books that will leave you spellbound. A warning! She's dangerous - when she writes spy thrillers she's only six degrees from a life filled with unimaginable adventures - journeys that will plunge her readers into a world of breath-taking intrigue. Put a Walther PPK pistol in her hand and she will kill you. Her German is so precise she'd fool Hitler. Her amorous prowess? If you have a secret, she will discover it - one way or the other. When she writes romance, her readers swoon and beg for mercy as they read her seductive stories about luscious characters. Be sure to have a glass of wine nearby as you snuggle up to her books about love. The author was born in north Florida in the little town of Live Oak, where the nearby Suwannee River flows the color of warm caramel, in a three-room, tin-roofed house named "poor." Her Irish mother's and English father's voices can be heard even today as they sweep across the hot tobacco fields of Suwannee County, "Susie, child, you must stop telling all those wild stories." She lives with her Yankee husband in the piney woods of north Florida, where she is compelled to write about far away places and people whose hearts require a voice. Her two daughters live their lives hiding from their mother, whose rampant imagination keeps their lives in constant turmoil with stories of apple-rotten characters and plots that cause the devil to smile.
