Über dieses E-Book
“Clever” women’s fiction from a bestselling author “deftly covers the complicated ground of family and hometown loyalty in this funny, poignant novel” (Booklist).
After Queenie Wake is dismissed from her restaurant job, she returns to her hometown of North Star, Texas to cook meals for death row inmates.
Hopeful that the bad memories of her late mother and promiscuous sister (now the mother of the captain of the high school football team) have been forgotten by the locals, Queenie discovers that some people can’t be forgotten—like heartbreaker Everett Coburn, her old high-school sweetheart.
When secrets from the past emerge, will Queenie be able to stick by her family or will she leave home again?
Liz Palmer’s Nowhere But Home is a funny and touching story of food, football, and fooling around.
“A heart-wrenching tale told with true wisdom and a brilliant wit . . . An uplifting reading experience.” —Kirkus Reviews
“A nice, warm snack.” —New York Journal of Books
“This appetizing, colorful tale...will please readers who enjoy smart chick lit.” —Library Journal
“An intriguing, moving read.” —Publishers Weekly
