Purchased copy

Saw that several people I knew enjoyed this one, and it seemed like the perfect gift for a friend who is almost the exact age of the main character, and who also grew up in Texas. This took place over more years than I expected, and reminded me of another book set in the south that I can't remember the title of, but I enjoyed it. The fact that the father owned a business named Carl's Corsets was fun, and of course it wouldn't do well in the 1970s, although my grandmother went to a very similar underpinnings shop until the late 1980s! A fun and nostalgic read, with lots of good period details.
