The Education of Dixie Dupree

About this book

In 1969 Dixie Dupree is eleven years old and already an expert liar. Sometimes the lies are for her mama Evies sake to explain away a bruise brought on by her quick-as-lightning temper. And sometimes the lies are to spite Evie who longs to leave her unhappy marriage in Perry County Alabama and return to her beloved New Hampshire. But for Dixie and her brother Alabama is home a place of pine-scented breezes and hot languid afternoons.
