by Amy Hill Hearth (Author)
From New York Times bestselling author Amy Hill Hearth, "a rollicking, provocative" (Ruth Pennebaker, author of Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakthrough) debut novel about a transplanted wife and mother from Boston who shakes up her new home in Florida during the early 1960s.
When she and her family move from Boston to a small, sleepy town in Florida in the early 1960s, Jackie Hart has no idea she is about to turn her new home upside down. Middle-aged and restless, Jackie is determined to find some excitement in her new town by accepting an opportunity to host a local radio show where she creates a mysterious, late-night persona, "Miss Dreamsville." She also launches a reading group--the Collier County Women's Literary Society--sending the conservative and racially segregated town into uproar. The only townspeople who venture to join are regarded as outsiders at best--a young gay man, a divorced woman, a poet, and a young black woman who dreams of going to college. Evocative, moving, and inspired by a real person, Miss Dreamsville and the Collier County Women's Literary Society will touch the heart of anyone and everyone who has ever felt like an outsider longing to fit in.
