The wonder boy of Whistle Stop : a novel / by Flagg, Fannie,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."--
