      About This Book

      From the author of Walking Across Egypt, the story of the first two years, two months, and two days in the life of a modern Southern marriage.

      "Raney is a gem, and Raney Bell Shepherd is a captivating character—a female Huck Finn whose voyage of discovery takes her into the treacherous currents of marriage.This book is too good to keep to yourself. Read it aloud with someone you love, then send it to a friend. But be sure to keep a copy for yourself, because you'll want to read it again and again." —Elizabeth Forsythe Hailey

      Raney is a small-town Baptist. Charles is a liberal from Atlanta. And RANEY is the story of their marriage. Charming, wise, funny, and truthful, it is a novel for everyone to love.

      "Utterly beguiling. Raney lives beyond the pages of this short novel." —New York Times

      "What James Thurber might have written had he lived in North Carolina . . . A splendid first novel." —Washington Post

      "A real jewel." —Richmond Times-Disaptch

      "A funny, deft, heartening book. If I were single, I'd marry it." —Roy Blount, Jr.
