Publisher's Note
"DELIGHTFUL CHARACTERS, LIVELY DIALOGUE AND GOOD STORYTELLING." --The Washington Post Energetic, voluptuous, and well past sixty, Queen Mary Purdy opens a smoke-enders clinic in the resort town of Fulton, North Carolina. Her unorthodox approach (aroma therapy? Massage?) provides much grist for the rumor mill. But Quees new venture is the least of the many scandals brewing in Fulton: a happily married woman entrusts her illicit secrets to a dead letter file; a mad-as-hell property owner seeks revenge for his recently-submerged investment; a radio talk show host longs to hit the big time, by any means. Quee knows these folks need help with more than their nicotine fits, and their troubles are all tied to that resilient little muscle known as the heart. . . ."Has the elements of a mystery, a comedy and a small town soap opera. In fact, it's all three and more, a book about loss and recovery, grief and resolution, meddling and responsibility." --San Francisco Chronicle

Energetic, voluptuous, and well past sixty, Queen Mary Purdy opens a smoke-enders clinic in the resort town of Fulton, North Carolina. Her unorthodox, New Age approach provides much grist for the rumor mill. But Queen's new venture is the least of the many scandals brewing in Fulton. Queen knows the good folks of Fulton need help with more than their nicotine fits . . . .

Industry Reviews
"McCorkle's fifth novel (and sixth book, including a fine collection, 'Crash Diet', 1992) is a narrative gem that emanates dramatic heat, southern-gothic light, and an uncanny emotional wisdom."
Iyer

"A tender book about power and redemption. A romance, a mystery, a tragedy, a confession. A tour de force."
Hawtree
