Amazon.com description: Product Description: Mary Faith Rapple wonders when her lover will stop making promise he canât keepâand leave his wife at last. But Mary Faith isnât the only woman in town with man troubles, for everyone has someone they want, someone they canât have, and someone they want to forget. Sayers has a gift for voice and the honest, gritty commentary about human behavior. This book offers her own version of the humor that Southern writers from Eudora Welty to Flannery OâConnor to Reynolds Price use so tellingly. Sayersâ novel is a skillful and well-crafted book which should appeal to readers of intelligent fiction.
