Six of One

Perched right on the Mason-Dixon line, tiny Runnymede, Maryland, is ripe with a history almost as colorful as the women who live therefrom Celeste Chalfonte, headstrong and aristocratic, who murders for principle and steals her brothers wife, to Fannie Jump Creighton, who runs a speakeasy right in her own home when hard times come knocking. Then of course, therere Louise and Julia, the boldly eccentric Hunsenmeir sisters. Wheezie and Juts spend their whole lives in Runnymede, cheerfully quibbling about everything from men to child-rearing to how to drive a car. But they never let small-town life keep them from chasing their biggest dreamsor from being true to who they really are. Sparkling with a perfect combination of sisterhood and sass, Six of One is a richly textured Southern canvasRita Mae Brown at her winning, fondest best(Kirkus Reviews).
