Publisher's Note
Virginia Suzanne Ballard is going home to Saxapaw, North Carolina to think things through during a difficult pregnancy. While Virginia is laid up, unable to move or risk losing her baby, she is tended by three generations of marvelous women. But as guilty secrets are revealed, half-hidden truths confessed, and wonderful memories and stories shared, Virginia realizes that while there are parts of the past you can love, you have to leave room in your heart for what's new . . .

Virginia Turner Ballard was in the midst of her first pregnancy--and her first marital crisis. Who better to be with than all the eccentric, insightful women in her family? A wonderful tale of a gathering of three generations of Southern women by a widely praised new novelist.

Industry Reviews
"...[A] small masterpiece of oblique pacing and accidental revelations. It is much easier to draw a character than to show him changing, and ordinarily the more convincingly he is initially drawn, the less we believe in his subsequent alteration; but McCorkle has pulled it off."
Boston Review - Daniel Max (02/19/1988)
