The Handbasket Express: a mostly true memoir

By Jennifer Neville Maddle

One stupid choice can rearrange the trajectory of your whole life. One moment in time can change everything... Everyone always thought that we were the good kids, but back in high school, my friends and I did something pretty rotten, and never spoke of it again. I've been hauling around a chunk of guilt for the past forty years searching for salvation, and it's time for me to confess my sins. They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions. It's the redemption that doesn't come easy. When you grow up in a small town it feels like everybody knows your secrets. I was sure mine would send me straight to hell, and in a handbasket no less. But I've been blessed along the way, more than I ever believed possible, so maybe, just maybe, I'm not really barreling full speed ahead, on... The Handbasket Express. A laugh out loud personal retrospective of life in a small town. It's Fannie Flagg meets Flannery O'Connor with a twist of Lulu Roman, shaken, not stirred. A celebration of the beauty in us all and the journey it sometimes takes to find it.
