Queen Bee of Mimosa Branch

De: Haywood Smith

Narrado por: Anne Gartlan

Southern housewife Linwood Breedlove Scott was happily content in her comfortable 30-year marriage, but when her husband cleans out their bank accounts and runs off with a stripper, her life takes a hilarious, yet touching, right turn into reality. With no place to go but home, she's forced back to her eccentric family she escaped by marrying at 19. But despite her newly dependent situation, Lin begins to stand on her own two feet and wake up to the joys - and perils - of life as a single woman. And she also learns surprising lessons about her family: that things aren't always what they seem, and that the power of love governs even the most dysfunctional of relationships.©2002 Haywood Smith (P)2008 BBC Audiobooks America

Easy listen

Entertaining and a good beach read.
The narrator does a great job with southern accents.

Wonderful!

I got to live in another town, another body, another world away and I needed to hear all the lessons Lin learned! Thank you so much for a fabulous experience! I can't wait to read the new sequel!

Chapters don’t link up right

The story is funny and captivating. I love the ending and I hope you enjoy it too.

Challenges Prejudices

I almost stopped listening after the first few chapters due to the blatant racism of the characters. I decided to continue and realize the author is not only raising awareness regarding the small minded mentality of some, she is artfully challenging the readers conventinal wisdom. Can't stand the narrator though... I want to punch her in the face.

Haywood Smith is royal with this book!
