I listened to the author read Between, Georgia and was very entertained. Joshilyn reads the story in her southern accent. The main character is Nonny Frett. In her town of Between, Georgia, the Frett's and the Crabtree families are in a major feud. The two people who keep this feud going are both loved by Nonny. She does her best to mediate the tension and keep radical acts at bay at the cost of her own serenity. Nonny's mother has a disability of deafness and blindness due to having Usher syndrome. Of all the people in the family, Nonny's mother is, by far, emotionally stable and responsible. This was a fascinating story about a family that was full of surprises and drama.
