It’s been more than a year since the Kudzu Debutantes exacted sweet, merciless revenge on their cheating husbands, but the repercussions are still palpable throughout Ithaca, Georgia. Nita is anxiously preparing herself for marriage to a man thirteen years her junior; Lavonne, despite having dropped her husband – and eighty pounds – and launched her own business, longs for love; and while Eadie remains married to Trevor, she feels more neglected than ever.
So the occasion of Nita’s second wedding seems like just the ticket to cheer up the disconsolate debs. But they’ve made a formidable enemy in Virginia Broadwell, first lady of Ithaca and the bride’s ex-mother-in-law. Whereas, Nita, Eadie, and Lavonne had found going up against their cheating husbands as easy as “driving a nail into a snow bank”, Virginia Kelly Broadwell is a much more cunning and formidable adversary. As they will soon discover.
But Virginia has an Achilles Heel of her own. A secret she's kept hidden for fifty years and which, if revealed, will shake the foundation of Ithaca Polite Society down to its cornerstone.
Now all Nita, Eadie and Lavonne have to do, is figure it out.
Publishers Weekly says “Holton shines in this peachy-fine farce.” |
