Between,Georgia


By Joshilyn Jackson. Its the story of Nonny Jane Frett and her struggles with her foster mother and her birth mother's family in a small town called Between.
Nonny is a thirty year old ASL specialist, her foster mother Stacia is deaf and blind and gets through her days with the help of her fraternal twin Genny who is a bundle of nerves. Genny is a stone's throw away from crazy. Bernese, Stacia's cousin is the overbearing person who runs the Between's museum of dolls. Making dolls is Stacia's passion and bernese has turned it into a business. But the real problem is between Bernese Frett and Ona Crabtree. Ona is the mother of Nonny's birthmother. Ona wants Nonny to be hers and the struggle is obvious.
The book is amazing with its colourful characters and interesting twists and turns. Its just as good as Jackson's first book "Gods of Alabama". I read that before starting this blog.
Amazing read. Should not miss.
