Meet Maggie Fortenberry. Her life seems pretty much perfect - she's beautiful, charming and successful, just as you'd expect of a former Miss Alabama. But in fact, Maggie is perfectly miserable. By now she should have been living in an elegant house with an adoring husband and children. Instead, she makes a living selling that dream to others - though her estate agency business has lately been going from bad to worse.

So Maggie comes up with the perfect plan to end it all. And that's when strange things start happening. As Maggie finds herself catapulted into one surprising discovery after another, she learns valuable lessons about the nature of friendship, the challenges of modern life and the dangers of impossible dreams. She also learns that everybody, dead or alive, has at least one little secret...

Part murder mystery, part feel-good comedy, a new novel from Fannie Flagg which bursts with Southern charm and good old-fashioned wisdom.

Reviews
Fannie Flagg has long perfected a recipe for whimsical tales of the Southern sisterhood -- Emma Hagestadt * Independent *
It's clear that Maggie, who grew up in an apartment above a movie theater, deserves a bright Technicolor ending. Readers will root for her to get one * Washington Post *
A golden-girl romp every bit as eccentric as it sounds...there is something touching about her plucky, world-weary survivors that has us rooting for them all the way * Independent *
This deliciously indulgent novel is as charming as Scarlet O'Hara and as comforting as a mug of cocoa * Easy Living *
Flagg is a consummate storyteller * Guardian *
