  <default_description>Nonny Frett understands the meaning of the phrase &quot;in between a rock and a hard place&quot; better than any woman alive. She's got two mothers, &quot;one deaf-blind and the other four baby steps from flat crazy.&quot; She's got two men: a husband who's easing out the back door; and a best friend, who's laying siege to her heart in her front yard. And she has two families: the Fretts, who stole her and raised her right; and the Crabtrees, who won't forget how they were done wrong. Now, in Between, Georgia, a feud that began the night Nonny was born is escalating and threatening to expose family secrets. Ironically, it might be just what the town needs...if only Nonny weren't stuck in between.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Kinda not liking it, but still liking it enough not to click off the CD and chuck it out the window at unsuspecting innocents.<br/><br/>So far.<br/>----<br/>UPDATE, with major spoilers:<br/><br/>So, hmm. I have to say this was an OK book. Parts were SO boring because nothing happened; we know ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/67042228">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I have not actually &quot;read&quot; any of Joshilyn Jackson's books, I listened to them all on CD, all read by the author.  I adored them.  <br/><br/>I can't wait to go back and read the text version of these books, but somehow I know it won't compare.  Jackson is an excellent storyteller, but he...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/48369498">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[At another time in my life, I'd have given this book a 5. Very nice story with some unexpected plot twists (paired with some very expected ones). I most liked the insider's look at how families live with deafness, some very Southern names (Bernese!), and flaws in the characters that made them very r...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/41269002">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was our February 2009 Jaycee book club choice.  I really liked this a lot.  Very easy to read, and very quick, I zipped through it in the first week (and then got sidetracked and finished the last bit in a few nights).  Its all about a family feud in the south, some very strong female charcters...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/47685068">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[3.5 stars. An enjoyable story about a woman and the complexities of her small town family. While it was a fast read, I expected a little more from this. I adore small-town-in-the-south settings and I expected the writing to be a little punchier, have more humorous aspects to it. Also I found the pro...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/42355061">more...</a>]]></body>
