Good. Crazy small town and crazy people. ( )

When 15 year old Hazel Crabtree shows up at the Frett's house asking for help, they had no idea that she was pregnant. She gives birth to a baby girl, who is immediately claimed and adopted by Sacia Frett.

The only problem with this is the long standing feud between the Fretts and Crabtrees (think Hatfield and McCoys).

Nonny Frett grows up walking the line between the two families: the wild, rough Crabtrees and the gentile Fretts.

A very enjoyable story, sweet, and light. ( )

This was a good read. A heart warming story about a girl whose adoptive mother was def and blind, but still loved her better than anyone in her real family could. After I read this book I had to read all of Joshilyn Jacksons books. She's definitely one of my favorite writers now. ( )

I read this because I loved her first book, Gods in Alabama. While this book was difficult for me to get into at first, I felt Jackson penned a strong finish for this story of family feuds and complicated lovers. It took me awhile to finish this book but once I finally reached the climax, the wait was worth it. ( )

The war began thirty years, nine months, and seven days ago, when I was deaf and blind, floating silent and serene inside Hazel Crabtree.

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0446524425, Hardcover)

Nonny Frett understands the meaning of the phrase in between a rock and a hard place better than any woman alive. Shes got two mothers, one deaf-blind and the other four baby steps from flat crazy. Shes got two men: a husband whos easing out the back door; and a best friend, whos 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 lost her and wont forget how they were done wrong. Now, in Between, Georgia, population 90, a feud that began the night Nonny was born is escalating, and a random act of violence is about to ignite a stash of family secrets. Ironically, it might be just what the town needs....if only Nonny werent stuck in between.
