With a steely comic vein, this account tells the story of three
generations of descendants of the eccentric Granny Vaughn who
gather in her old home in Mississippi to celebrate her 90th
birthday during the hardest times of the Depression. The guest of
honor will be Granny Vaughn's favorite grandson, Jack Renfro,
who--not one to miss the celebration--has escaped from prison where
he was expected to be released the next day. This fascinating novel
describes family secrets that are mixed with stories of loss and
are passed from parents to offspring, and examines a rich tapestry
of a South that no longer exists. "Con una vena comica dura, este

de la abuela Vaughn, Jack Renfro, quien--para no perderse la
celebracion--se ha escapado de la carcel donde esperaba ser
