Aggressively successful New York television interviewer Dena
Nordstrom is an emotional mess. There is a dark mystery in her past
that even psychiatrists cannot uncover - instead one falls in love
with his difficult patient, and his increasingly outrageous
attempts to attract her provide some of the most hilarious episodes
in the book. By the author of Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle
Stop Cafe, this is a warm, poignant and funny tale, with a sinister
undercurrent of racial prejudice and hypocrisy. (Kirkus UK)
Sweeping from the gentler confines of late 1940s small-town America to the tough side of the New York media circus in the ‘70s,
Welcome to the World, Baby Girl! mines golden seams of goodness and gritty determination, prejudice and despair, love and survival, in the story of a young TV interviewer, Dena Nordstrom, whose future looks full of promise, whose present is an emotional mess, and whose past is marked by mystery.
With a cast of unforgettable characters, from the comic masterpiece that is Neighbor Dorothy (broadcasting home tips and good news to the midwest from her own front room) to the monstrosity that is Ira Wallace, TV network head – Welcome to the World, Baby Girl! is a funny, constantly surprising novel that keeps you guessing and turning the page right up to the last.
