Pearl Weaver is obsessed with stories. When loss leaves her reeling, Pearl seeks peace from the writing lessons of her father, a brilliant Southern writer. If you don't like something, he taught, cross it out and choose a better plot. Although his lesson was intended for ink and paper, Pearl uses it to choose a new life for herself, straight from the pages of classic literature. Soon she discovers that what's perfectly poised within a masterpiece, is disastrous in the real world. Pearl flees to the ends of the earth, only to discover that some stories are impossible to escape. Facing terrifying consequences, Pearl must choose her next plot. Will she recreate herself once again? Or will she learn that freedom doesn't have to be fictional?

Review:

"A rainstorm in spring, building up to the kind of book you'll sit on the porch reading through the night...With every beautifully lilting sentence, Keener has written an epic for the South."---Kenley Alligood, Deep South Magazine. "An unusual yet gripping third novel...Pearl's voice and spunk, reminiscent of Scout in To Kill a Mockingbird, hook the reader." Linda C. Brinson, Greensboro News and Record. "If ever there was a good pick for a book club, this one certainly qualifies."---Fallon Willoughby, Bowling Green Daily News. "Unexpected and inspiring...An unforgettable marriage of heart, soul, and Southern inspiration."---D. Donavan, Midwest Book Review. "A swirl of lovely metaphors and breathtaking perspectives...Pearl Weaver contains the best parts of Southern charm, drawing upon the story part of religious tales, and showing how those literary inheritances belong to us all." ---Foreword Reviews.
