false 402401 7 From the author of Mad Girls in Love comes this lively multigenerational tale of six charming, unforgettable Southern women -- a novel of love and laughter, pain and redemption. Though she was born in Tennessee, Miss Gussie is no country fool. A woman who can handle any situation, she has her hands full with two headstrong daughters who happen to be complete opposites -- dour Dorothy and sweet Clancy Jane. Hoping money will heal childhood wounds, Dorothy marries the owner of a five-and-dime, while Clancy Jane gets into a mess of trouble, running off with a randy tomcat who pumps gas at the Esso stand. And then there are Gussie’s granddaughters, the smart but plain Violet and fancy-talking Bitsy -- a new generation whose lives will reflect a nation’s tumultuous times. From Tennessee to New Orleans, from psychedelic San Francisco to a remote Southwestern desert ranch, this funny, poignant novel spans more than four decades as it vividly recounts the universal loves, sorrows, and joys of women’s lives. 528396 1999 Crazy Ladies: A Novel total:451|5:101|4:170|3:134|2:36|1:10| 451 1669 666 84 5 4 false false Fri May 23 08:15:24 -0700 2008 Fri May 23 08:16:13 -0700 2008 5 3 false false Tue May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu May 17 10:09:27 -0700 2007 Mon May 21 15:36:13 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 3 false false Sun Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 1999 Thu Oct 18 18:41:08 -0700 2007 Thu Oct 18 18:46:11 -0700 2007 5 2 false false Sun Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Wed Aug 29 06:43:56 -0700 2007 Wed Aug 29 07:03:28 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 3 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1996 Wed Jan 30 13:40:25 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 31 21:04:52 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 2 false false Mon Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2005 Tue Jul 03 08:41:21 -0700 2007 Tue Jul 03 08:42:01 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 2 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Apr 16 09:47:51 -0700 2008 Wed Apr 16 09:51:42 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 2 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2002 Wed Apr 23 11:29:19 -0700 2008 Wed Apr 23 12:36:36 -0700 2008 5 2 false false Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Mar 18 19:25:59 -0700 2008 Sun Mar 30 18:52:42 -0700 2008 4 1 false false Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Tue Dec 11 20:24:33 -0800 2007 Sun Dec 16 08:31:00 -0800 2007 more...]]> 2 1 false false Thu Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Thu May 24 05:47:38 -0700 2007 Thu May 24 05:49:21 -0700 2007
