Dormant talents and strengths often surface in unlikely people—just ask Fannie Pekum. Perhaps you first met Fannie in the book, A Variety of Gifts. She’s alive and well, ever full of vim and vinegar, and continues to meddle in people’s lives. There’s constant chaos and turmoil with teenage Muriel and an odd assortment of friends. When her nemesis appears unexpectedly—along with a mangy dog, Fannie’s sense of decency and basic goodness is severely tested. Witty and wise, this homespun saga will capture your heart with a story for all ages.
