Customer Reviews

A witty and vibrant tale of family relationships.

Dinah Reynolds has returned to Midnight, Texas to run the family newspaper. Over the course of several weeks she must deal with the break-up of her marriage, the battles between her son and daughter-in-law, her neurotic mother, her aging but dynamite grandmother, as well as kidnapped house cats, her first love, and a plane crash in a field of Swiss chard. Hilarious at times, poignant at others, the story moves swiftly, never failing to maintain interest. The narrator's wry sense of humor and keen eye for detail bring the sights, sounds, smells and, of course, people of small-town Texas to life. Dinah might not do everything right, but she honestly wants to and that's what will make you pull for her.
