"Welcome to the World, Baby Girl! is the funny , serious, and compelling new novel by Fannie Flagg, author of the beloved Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe (and prize-winning co-writer of the classic movie).
Once again, Flagg's humor and respect and affection for her characters shine forth.
Many inhabit small-town or suburban America.
But this time, her heroine is urban: a brainy, beautiful, and ambitious rising star of 1970s television.
Dena Nordstrom, pride of the network, is a woman whose future is full of promise, her present rich with complications, and her past marked by mystery.
Among the colorful cast of characters are: * Sookie, of Selma, ALabama, Dena's exuberant college roommate, who is everything that Dena is not; she is thrilled by Dena's success and will do everything short of signing autographs for her; Sookie's a mom, a wife, and a Kappa forever; * Dena's cousins, the Warrens, and her aunt Elner, of Elmwood Springs, Missouri, endearing, loyal, talkative, ditsy, and, in their way, wise; * Neighbor Dorothy, whose spirit hovers ovr them all through the radio show that she broadcast from her home in the 1940s; * Sidney Capello, pioneer of modern sleaze journalism and privateer of privacy, and Ira Wallace, his partner in tabliod television; * Several doctors, all of them taken with - and almost taken in by - Dena.
There are others, captivated by a woman who tries to go home again, not knowing where home or love lie.
