Publisher Description
If anybody had told Prissy, a conservative Southern housewife, she would one day be driving around town with a stoned, drunk black man named Willie in her backseat while she begged—no, ordered—him into her house for the night, she would have told them they were nuts. But it happened.
An emotionally honest account, Far Outside the Ordinary chronicles the period in Prissy’s life when, during a routine physical, her fifty-yearold husband is given less than a year to live. Southern black caregivers move into her home and work around the clock to aid her family. Soon, Prissy finds herself a spectator in her own home, observing events far outside the boundaries of her once ordinary life.
Far Outside the Ordinary is also a story of happily ever after, a romantic fairy tale. When her high school boyfriend reappears in her life, Prissy learns love has no expiration date. Sometimes a second chance at love can come disguised, and when least expected.

Far Outside the Ordinary
So interesting, from the start! I read half of the book in my first sitting. Prissy's comfortable, yet descriptive style of writing made for an enjoyable, fast paced read. Her honesty was at some times painful and heart rending.
For me, also very interesting because I also live in Tallahassee and know several of the folks mentioned.
This book was obviously written from the heart. Looking forward to the sequel, written by this lovely southern lady!
So glad I decided to read this book
After reading the sample I hesitated before I tapped the download button, feeling pretty sure that although I already loved the book, it would leave me depressed over my entire Memorial Day weekend. Nothing could have been further from the truth. There was sadness certainly, but it was far outweighed by the great story and excellent writing. I finished with a big smile on my face.
