about this book

Despite dying occasionally, then coming back to life, outlandish Min Connar is determined to throw her small hometown a memorable party for her 90th birthday. Never mind that half the Connar clan isn’t speaking to the other half, or that the town is filled with eccentric characters whose appetites for fried chicken and gossip outweigh their desire for birthday cake and reunion. This rollicking story weaves through the lives of the townspeople and celebrates the joys and frustrations of human relationships.
