Oswald T. Campbell, aged fifty-two, down-and-out in a Chicago winter, is given only months to live unless he moves South. He finds himself in the small town of Lost River, Alabama, where the residents are friendly if feud-prone and eccentric to a fault. One of them, Roy, keeps a red cardinal, a once wounded bird called Jack, in the village store. Patsy, a sad, sweet little kid with a crippled leg, from the trailer park up in the woods, takes to dropping by the store - and falls in love with Jack. Flagg takes us on an emotional roller-coaster ride through the lives and hearts of an engaging crew of misfits, fixers and ordinary good-hearted folk, set against the vivid natural backdrop of a mellow Alabama winter, along the riverside where birds and fish abound. Her enchanting story culminates at Christmas time with surprises and a magical 'redbird' moment.

I thought I was being so clever when I chose this book for your birthday before it ever appeared on your wish list. However now I see that it has dissapeared so I guess maybe it arrived in your December collection of books? Never mind I hope you like the other part of the package and I know you've got a friend who will take it off your hands. LOL

Happy Birthday Calalilly!!

Well the time of year was just right, so I picked this book out to read in the run up to Christmas. A book that you could read very quickly if it wasn't such a busy time but I still got through it in just a few days as it is so appealing that you just keep coming back for more. I like Fannie Flagg's stories and this was no exception. Very sweet, nice quirky characters and just a little magic to make it the perfect Christmas read. Having said that it could be read at anytime as most of the story doesn't take part at Christmas.

I know your other copy had a chunk missing calalilly so I'm going to try and get this back to you to read before the holiday season is over. Enjoy!
