I have to admit, I borrowed this book from the library for it's title and cover. It was a little slow moving at first, but towards the end I was reading until 2 am to finish it! Sometimes I like stories about small town folk and this book about a girl yearning to move to Atlanta from Ringgold, GA fit the bill. For example, Catherine Grace saves money to move to Atlanta by starting a homemade jam business! The book is set in the 70's and I guess it was a simpler time back then, especially in the south. The fact that the Greyhound bus stop is at the Dairy Queen that she goes to everyday is really symbolic and the story does get better after she finally steps on that bus.
