Sunday at the Sunflower Inn / by Thomas, Jodi,author.;
"The legendary New York Times and USA Today bestselling author brings a sense of nostalgia to the town in this delightful journey of second chances. Jessica Ann McKenzie--"Jam" to everyone in Honey Creek--has fulfilled her dream of owning the best restaurant for miles around. Serving candlelit dinners to every couple in town on Valentine's Day is a reminder of another dream, one she's just about given up on. Until, that very night, Sergeant Tucson Smith clambers out of the muddy river and onto her land, bringing the promise of something they've both been searching for. When McCoy Mason crashes on Interstate 45, he doesn't just bust up his Mustang, his leg, and his relationship. He also loses his prospects of a job and apartment in Houston. Honey Creek, home to his estranged grandfather, offers a temporary respite, a place to recover before moving on again. After all, what permanent use could a town so picture-perfect have for a man like him? At sixty-seven, Charles H. Winston III lives by order and routine. One of his most cherished rituals is a regular lunch date with three lovely ladies at the Honey Creek Café, including the very proper Miss Lilly Lambert. But it's not too late to surprise the whole town--or himself--by seizing a chance for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. And there's no better season than spring, when the warm breeze blowing in from the Brazos River brings fresh hope and second chances to those who need them most ..."--Provided by publisher.

The wonder boy of Whistle Stop [sound recording] : a novel / by Flagg, Fannie,author,narrator.; Random House Audio Publishing,publisher.;
Read by the author."Bud Threadgoode grew up in the bustling little railroad town of Whistle Stop, Alabama, with his mother Ruth, church going and proper, and the fun-loving hell-raiser, his Aunt Idgie. Together they ran the town's popular Whistle Stop Café, known far and wide for its famous 'Fried Green Tomatoes.' And as Bud often said of his childhood, 'How lucky can you get?' But sadly, the railroad yards began to shut down and the town became a ghost town, with nothing left but boarded-up buildings and memories of a happier time. Then one day, Bud decides to take one last trip, just to see where his beloved Whistle Stop used to be. In so doing, he discovers new surprises about Idgie's life and about other beloved Fried Green Tomatoes characters, and about the town itself. He also sets off a series of events, both touching and inspiring, which change his life and the lives of his daughter and others. Could these events all be just coincidences? Or something else? And can you go home again?"--

Valentine in Montreal : a novel / by O'Neill, Heather,author.; O'Neill, Arizona,illustrator.;
"A young woman who works at a Montreal metro station looks up and sees her doppelganger and is thrown into an unexpected adventure, in this playful and surprising novel, first serialized in the Montreal Gazette and now beautifully illustrated. In the tradition of the serialized novels of Charles Dickens, Armistead Maupin, Tom Wolfe, Stephen King, and Michael Chabon, Heather O'Neill brings us Valentine in Montreal. Originally published in weekly installments in the Montreal Gazette as "Mystery in the Metro," this is the story of Valentine, a lonely and orphaned girl, who, while working at the dépanneur of a Montreal metro station, spots her look-alike. Following this seeming twin on to the subway and out into the city, Valentine's world is changed -- she meets gangsters, composers, ballet dancers, a cricket playing a mournful tune and she meets the city, in all its teeming energy. Valentine in Montreal is a playful, moving and surprising story of a young woman finding both connection and the courage to break free of what has been holding her back. It's also a portrait of Montreal and its artistry and vibrancy both above and below ground. Illustrations by graphic artist Arizona O'Neill run throughout."--
