There, at The End of the Road of the South, the family malt shop freezer holds unspeakable things, society maven Mrs. Dot hosts Junior Debutante meetings and shares inspired thoughts for the week (such as &#8220;sincerity is as valuable as radium&#8221;), and Daisy Fay&#8217;s Daddy hatches a quick-cash scheme that involves resurrecting his daughter from the dead in a carefully orchestrated miracle. Along the way, Daisy Fay does a lot of growing up, emerging as one of the most hilarious, appealing, and prized characters in modern fiction. 1483450 1981 Daisy Fay and the Miracle Man: A Novel total:2235|5:652|4:821|3:622|2:106|1:34| 2235 8656 2763 266 5 2 true true Fri Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1993 Sun Feb 17 20:07:42 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 17 20:18:47 -0800 2008
