(  ) JillHannah | Nov 20, 2023 | You aren’t preached to and forced to learn a lesson, you get a small taste of what life was like in New Orleans in the 60’s, but that isn’t the main point of the story. This is a funny, tender story about a 12 year old girl dumped at her very eccentric grandmother’s house and what her life was like being raised by said grandmother and her black help. There are even a few surprises in the book. ( ) zmagic69 | Mar 31, 2023 |  ) dmurfgal | Dec 9, 2022 | Frannie has seen a lot of tragedy in her life, and her story is told to Ibby by Queenie and Dollbaby. As her story is revealed over the years, Ibby understands Frannie's connection to Queenie, Dollbaby, and well as to others in the town. Ibby learns so much about her grandmother's past and how she touched so many. A beautifully told story of a tumultuous time in our history.

Fannieâ??s New Orleans house is like no place Ibby has ever beenâ??and Fannie, who has a tendency to end up in the local asylumâ??is like no one she has ever met. Fortunately, Fannieâ??s black cook, Queenie, and her smart-mouthed daughter, Dollbaby, take it upon themselves to initiate Ibby into the ways of the South, both its grand traditions and its darkest secrets. For Fannieâ??s own family history is fraught with tragedy, hidden behind the closed rooms in her ornate Uptown mansion. It will take Ibbyâ??s arrival to begin to unlock the mysteries there.
