Blurb (from back cover): "Mrs. Sookie Poole of Point Clear, Alabama, has just married off the last of her daughter and is looking forward to relaxing with her husband, Earle. Then, quite by accident, Sookie stumbles on a secret about her mother, the formidable Lenore Simmons Krackenberry-a discovery that suddenly calls into question everything she ever thought she knew about herself. Sookie begins a search for answers that takes her to California, the Midwest, and back in time to the 1940s, when an irrepressible woman named Fritzi takes on the the job of running her family's filling station. As Sookie learns about the adventures of the girls at the All-Girls Filling Station, she finds new inspiration for her own life."

Opinion: Again I have tried a Flagg book and hated it. It is just something about her character Sookie that makes me want to throw the book across the room-or at least reach into the book and smack Sookie for being so over the top annoying. I gave it just over 100 pages and said nope, I have over 400 other books in my house to read....NEXT.
