  • "It is the weekend of the Peach Blossom Festival in the tiny Georgia town of Mulberry, and LaShawndra, an eighteen-year-old hoochie-mama, has messed up ... again. But this time she isn't sticking around to hear about it. She plans instead to hitchhike out of Mulberry with her arms wrapped around some handsome stranger on a motorcycle--avoiding the repercussions for her actions. Not that her mother seems to care; after all Sandra is busy working on her flourishing real-estate career and on a tenuous relationship with the local minister. It's LaShawndra's grandmother Lily Paine Pines, a highly respected cornerstone of the Mulberry community, who is out scouring the streets at midnight looking for her granddaughter. Over the course of one weekend these women, guided by the wisdom of three unexpected visitors--the ghosts of Miss Moses, Nurse Joanna Bloom, and Miss Eliza Jane Dryer--will learn to face the pain of their lives and discover that with reconciliation comes the healing they all desperately seek."@en
