![]() ![]() Through her grandmother’s friends and a series of artifacts left behind by her mother, Renata begins piecing together the how and the why of how she came to be the person that she is, and wishes to reconcile with her estranged father, Louis. Honora DeChavannes is preparing for her son’s latest wedding, and is delighted to tell Renata what she knows. Intrigued, Renata decides that she needs to go visit her paternal grandmother at her house on the Alabama coast, with whom her mother remained close after the divorce. “If you’re reading this, I’m dead,” the note begins, and her mother goes on to reveal that Renata’s childhood was not all that it seemed to be, and that she deserves to know the truth about her parents’ divorce when she was a little girl, her father’s subsequent remarriages, and the circumstances under which many of those things occurred. Furious, unable to reach him, and in the wake of her mother and stepfather’s untimely deaths in a plane crash, Renata storms through her house, ultimately coming upon a note written by her mother. Billed as “a juicy novel of Southern discomfort”, Renata DeChavannes is a slightly overweight screenwriter who has just seen her superstar long-term boyfriend splashed on the cover of a tabloid with a hot young starlet wrapped around him. ![]()
