<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Peyton McKenzie's cousin, free-spirited Nora Findley, roars into her small Georgia town in a pink Thunderbird, and stirs things up. But 12-year-old Peyton knows something is troubling Nora. When the shocking truth comes to light, it will teach Peyton a lesson she'll never forget.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>"A treat to be savored." --<em>Houston Chronicle</em></strong></p><p>A classic from <em>New York Times </em>bestselling author Anne Rivers Siddons, <em>Nora, Nora</em> tells the story of free-thinking Cousin Nora Findlay who turns tiny Lytton, Georgia, on its ear in the summer of 1961. Pat Conroy (<em>The Prince of Tides</em>) says the author of <em>Low Country, Up Island, Peachtree Street, </em>and <em>King's Oak</em> "ranks among the best of us," and the <em>Atlanta Journal-Constitution</em> praises <em>Nora, Nora </em>as "Anne Rivers Siddons writing at the top of her form. This lively, sparkling coming-of-age novel is superbly written and wholly engaging."</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>Twelve-year-old Peyton McKenzie isn't ready to share her widowed father with anyone--certainly not with her cigarette-smoking redheaded cousin Nora, who just rolled into sleepy Lytton, Georgia, this summer behind the wheel of a pink Thunderbird. But her father seems to like Nora, and prim Aunt Augusta hates her, which means she can't be all bad. And when Nora takes a job teaching the first integrated honors class at the local high school, it appears she might be staying forever.</p><p>But there's something troubling Peyton's unorthodox cousin, something more than the outspoken town gossips' complaints about Nora's unsouthern ways. When the truth comes to light, it will rock the segregated small community--and teach Peyton an unforgettable lesson about the enormous cost of love.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"<em>Nora, Nora</em> has all the marks of bestsellerdom"--<em><strong>Publishers Weekly</strong></em><br><br>"Anne Rivers Siddons has always written as though someone close to god was whispering to her. I want to say <em>Nora, Nora</em> is her best book, but I don't want to hurt the feelings of <em>Peachtree Road, Outer Banks, Hill Towns</em> or <em>Colony</em> or half a dozen others. She ranks among the best of us and delivers the goods-the whole fabulous package-with every book she writes."--<strong>Pat Conroy</strong><br><br>"If you read just one classic "beach book" this summer, let it be Anne Rivers Siddons's <em>Nora, Nora</em>."--<em><strong>USA Today</strong></em><br><br>"Siddons's prose is so fluid, graceful, and lovely, that after diving in, the reader is carried along effortlessly and with great pleasure. [<em>Nora, Nora</em>] is a completely satisfying and nourishing read, containing both style and substance."--<strong><em>Library Journal</em></strong><br>
