Synopsis

Sometimes it&’s the most unlikely meetings that give us life&’s greatest gifts.1970s, Southern Alabama. Sixty-two-year-old Jeremiah Lewis Taylor, or &“Nub,&” has spent his whole life listening to those he loves tell him he&’s no good—first his ex-wife, now his always-disapproving daughter. Sure, his escapades have made him, along with his cousin and perennial sidekick, Benny, just a smidge too familiar with small-town law enforcement, but he&’s never harmed anyone—except perhaps himself.Nub never meant to change his ways, but when he and fifteen-year-old Waffle House waitress Minnie form an unlikely friendship, he realizes for the first time that there may be some good in him after all. Six-foot-five Minnie has been dealt a full deck of bad luck—her father is a convicted murderer serving a life sentence, her mother is dead and buried, and she has a Grand Ole Opry–worthy singing voice with no place to perform. Oh, and there&’s the small fact that she&’s unexpectedly pregnant, courtesy of a no-good high-school boy.Gradually, Nub realizes the gift he&’s been given: a second chance to make a difference.Beloved Southern writer Sean Dietrich, also known as Sean of the South, once again brings people and places to life in this lyrical song-turned-story about found family, second chances, country music, and the poignant power of love and forgiveness.Heartwarming Southern fiction from Sean of the SouthStand-alone novelIncludes discussion questions for book clubsAlso by Sean Dietrich: The Incredible Winston Browne, Stars of Alabama, and You Are My Sunshine
