Spanning decades, generations, and America in the 1940s and today, this is a fun-loving mystery about an Alabama woman today, and five women who in 1943 worked in a Phillips 66 gas station, during the WWII years. Mrs. Sookie Poole of Point Clear, Alabama, has just married off the last of her three daughters and is looking forward to relaxing and perhaps traveling with her husband, Earle. The only thing left to contend with now is her mother, the formidable and imposing Lenore Simmons Krackenberry, never an easy task. Lenore may be a lot of fun for other people, but is, for the most part, an overbearing presence for her daughter. Then one day, quite by accident, Sookie discovers a shocking secret about her mother's past that knocks her for a loop and suddenly calls into question everything she ever thought she knew about herself, her family, and her future.

Great read! submitted by maforbes on June 14, 2015, 4:45pm I am a very busy person, so finding time to read a book is a challenge. This book made it worth my time! I was hooked from the first page and really enjoyed the entire story. It did not take any time to "get into it." The characters are relatable - the story is interesting and very funny. It is also an interesting perspective on that time in history. I highly recommend this book!
