Letters to Missy Violet

157 pp. | Houghton | January, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-0-547-36300-4 $15.99
(2) 4-6 When Missy Violet leaves town temporarily to care for an ailing brother, Viney (Missy Violet and Me) keeps in touch through letters recounting the major events in her life: observing her sister's suitors; entering an essay contest; and coming upon a secret K.K.K. meeting (a harrowing account in an otherwise breezy novel). The book offers humor, wisdom, warmth, and plenty of small-town drama.
