Family Gems is set in 1976 and 1977. It consists of the written
correspondence (including family recipes and small-town newspaper
columns) between two middle-aged sisters, Jewell Mattingly Garrett
of Buck Creek, Kentucky, and Ruby JaNelle Mattingly Clarkson of
Falstaff, Arizona. Through their letters, other characters come
alive: their siblings--level-headed and loving brother Garnett
Greene Mattingly and drug-and-alcohol-addicted, widowed sister Opal
Ovada Mattingly Skaggs; their spouses, children, grandchildren, and
other extended family members. Many other eccentric characters from
the community of Buck Creek, Kentucky also appear such as Teensie
and Weensie Bottoms, fraternal twin sisters who co-own and operate
the local beauty salon, along with Mr. Jerry Combs, a
cross-dressing, homosexual hair dresser who rents a booth in the
shop. During the course of their correspondence, a lifetime of
family secrets--including one son's coming out and one daughter's
interracial romance and unplanned pregnancy--are revealed and
reviewed, always with compassion and with humor, both warmhearted
and wicked.
