First published 2007
Nonny Frett lives trapped between two worlds in Between, Georgia, a town of just 90 people. She has two mothers: one who is deaf and blind, another teetering on the edge of madness. Two families claim her: the Fretts who took her in and raised her, and the Crabtrees who lost her and nurse their grievances. Two men want her: a husband who keeps one foot out the door, and a best friend who camps in her yard, determined to win her heart. The feud between these families started the night Nonny was born and has simmered for years. Now violence erupts in their small town, threatening to expose buried family secrets. The chaos might actually heal the community's wounds, but only if Nonny can find her way out of the middle ground where she's always been stuck.
