Whistlin' Dixie in a Nor'easter by Lisa Patton
A captivating story of Amanda Conroy Malone - a naive, inexperienced, young woman - whose husband of seven years disappears on Christmas Day, leaving her penniless in the Nevada desert near Las Vegas in a house trailer without a car and no means to support herself. Amanda's married sister comes to the rescue, whisking her away to California to live in their sprawling riverside home in the San Joaquin Valley - a far cry from the poor existence both girls experienced in the Arkansas hill country as they were growing up in their grandmother's care. With a lot of hard work and overtime hours, Amanda's dream is about to become a reality. Now she must decide what is most important to her: an independent life in Belgium or a life in California with a wealthy rancher who says he loves her. She goes to Brussels where she befriends Rachel O'Neill who is there doing research for a novel. Both their lives change .LISA PATTON spent over twenty years in the music industry before discovering her passion for novel writing. A breast cancer survivor, Lisa is now the bestselling author of WHISTLIN' DIXIE IN A NOR'EASTER and YANKEE DOODLE DIXIE. Both novels have been featured on the Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance (SIBA) Bestseller List and in 2010 Lisa was selected by Target as an Emerging Author. SOUTHERN AS A SECOND LANGUAGE is the third and final book in what Library Journal calls, the beloved Dixie series. Lisa's fourth novel, RUSH, set inside a fictional sorority house at Ole Miss, provides not only a gaze inside the most exclusive sorority Recruitment in the country, but at the lives of both the sisters and the all African American staff.
Born and raised in Memphis, Lisa spent time as a Vermont innkeeper until three sub-zero winters sent her speeding back down South. The proud mother of two sons and a little Havanese pooch named Rosie, she and her husband live in Nashville, Tennessee.
