This is where it all starts.  The lead in to the novelThe Curl Up and Dye.  While it is not a *must*read ( you do not need to read it to be able to understand everything in the first book.) , it sure does make things in the full length novel a little easier to  understand. I did not read the novella first and had no problems at all.This is Southern writing at its best.  Wonderful women that don't think they have strength and are wimps until pushed just that one little inch too far...and then look out!  Now all Hell breaks loose, bless their hearts! It just takes Southern women (of the 'good old South') a bit longer to combust!Sharon Sala makes every effort to make her characters believable and likeable  (when they should be likeable) as well as making  others dis-likable but redeemable when necessary.  These are characters that I can truly see  myself becoming good friends with...women that I would want at my back.I also appreciate that not all the characters in these books are twenty-something women.  There are plenty of use women of that 'certain age' portrayed here too.  I surely h ope that Ms Sala will make one of her future main characters someone in 'that' age bracket!Happy Reading!
