<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The bestselling author of "Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe" pens a hilarious look at life in the South during the '50s. It begins when Daisy Fay is a feisty, lonely 11-year-old, and ends six years later when she's the unlikely winner of the Miss Mississippi contest.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>"A hilarious, endearing novel."--<i>Los Angeles Times</i></b> <p/>In Fannie Flagg's high-spirited first novel, we meet Daisy Fay Harper in the spring of 1952, where she's "not doing much except sitting around waiting for the sixth grade." When she leaves Shell Beach, Mississippi, in September 1959, she is packed up and ready for the Miss America Pageant, vowing "I won't come back until I'm somebody." But in our hearts she already is. <p/> Sassy and irreverent from the get-go, Daisy Fay takes us on a rollicking journey through her formative years on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi. There, at The End of the Road of the South, the family malt shop freezer holds unspeakable things, society maven Mrs. Dot hosts Junior Debutante meetings and shares inspired thoughts for the week (such as "sincerity is as valuable as radium"), and Daisy Fay's Daddy hatches a quick-cash scheme that involves resurrecting his daughter from the dead in a carefully orchestrated miracle. Along the way, Daisy Fay does a lot of growing up, emerging as one of the most hilarious, appealing, and prized characters in modern fiction. <p/><b>Praise for <i>Daisy Fay and the Miracle Man</i></b> <p/>"Sheer unbeatable entertainment."<b>--<i>Cosmopolitan</i><br></b><br>"Unforgettable and irresistible."<b>--</b><i><b>Chattanooga Free Press</b><br></i><br>"Side-splittingly funny."<b>--<i>Cleveland</i></b><i><b> Plain Dealer</b></i><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A hilarious, endearing novel."<b>--<i>Los Angeles Times</i></b> <p/> "Sheer unbeatable entertainment."<b>--<i>Cosmopolitan</i><br></b> <br> "Unforgettable and irresistible."<b>--</b><i><b>Chattanooga Free Press</b><br></i> <br> "Side-splittingly funny."<b>--<i>Cleveland</i></b><i><b> Plain Dealer</b></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Fannie Flagg</b>'s career started in the fifth grade when she wrote, directed, and starred in her first play, titled <i>The Whoopee Girls, </i> and she has not stopped since.
