February 2016 Indie Next List Pick
This snappy, sassy redemption story set in small-town Montana is âa wild and crazy debut novel by a talented young writerâ (Jackie Collins), filled with an uproarious and unforgettable cast of characters you wonât want to leave behind.
â[The Flood Girls] includes barfights and AA meetings, a parade, a wedding, and a black bear, all of which Fifield juggles beautifully...The Wild West earns its name all over again in this lovable chronicle of small-town insanity.â âKirkus Reviews, Starred Review
Welcome to Quinn, Montana, population: 956. A town where nearly all of the volunteer firemen are named Jim, where The Dirty Shameâthe only bar in townârefuses to serve mixed drinks (too much work), where the locals hate the newcomers (then again, they hate the locals, too), and where the town softball team has never even come close to having a winning season. Until now.
Rachel Flood has snuck back into town after leaving behind a trail of chaos nine years prior. Sheâs here to make amends, but nobody wants to hear it, especially her mother, Laverna. But with the help of a local boy named Jake and a little soul-searching, she just might make things right.
In the spirit of Empire Falls and A League of Their Own, with the caustic wit of Whereâd You Go, Bernadette thrown in for good measure, Richard Fifieldâs hilarious and heartwarming debut will have you laughing through tears.
