Description
In the sweltering summer of 1906, fourteen-year-old Lollie leaves her grandmother's farm for a visit to her aunt's home in Cold Sassy, Georgia. Her world is turned upside down when her beloved grandfather dies and her grandmother, Mattie Lou, quickly remarries the charismatic, much younger rancher, R.J. McCallum. Lollie navigates the complexities of family, changing times, and her own burgeoning understanding of love and life as she witnesses her grandmother's unconventional choices and the town's reaction. This coming-of-age story beautifully captures the spirit of a bygone era, exploring themes of independence, societal expectations, and the enduring strength of the human heart.
