false 306654 19 If the preacher's wife's petticoat showed, the ladies would make the talk last a week. But on July 5, 1906, things took a scandalous turn. That was the day E. Rucker Blakeslee, proprietor of the general store and barely three weeks a widower, eloped with Miss Love Simpson -- a woman half his age and, worse yet, a Yankee! On that day, fourteen-year-old Will Tweedy's adventures began and an unimpeachably pious, deliciously irreverent town came to life. Not since <i>To Kill A Mockingbird</i> has a novel so deftly captured the subtle crosscurrents of small-town Southern life. Olive Ann Burns classic bestseller brings to vivid life an era that will never exist again, exploring timeless issues of love, death, coming of age, and the ties that bind families and generations. 1187268 1983 Cold Sassy Tree total:7692|5:2107|4:3059|3:1937|2:423|1:166| 7692 29594 9458 1078 5 6 false false Tue Jun 03 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu May 15 09:22:24 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 02 22:23:20 -0700 2008
