Advance praise for The All-Girl Filling Station's Last Reunion "Fannie Flagg is a fantastic story teller. She surprises the reader in every chapter with unexpected twists and turns. The only problem I had with this fascinating story is that it ended too soon. I can't wait for her next book." --Carol Burnett " The All-Girl Filling Station's Last Reunion is an absolute joy to read, full of Fannie Flagg's trademark humor, warmth, tenderness, and heart. If you're looking for a novel to lift your spirits and make you smile, this is definitely the book for you." --Kristin Hannah "An engaging, heartfelt story where family secrets unfurl and the past reshapes the present in surprising ways. Fannie Flagg has crafted a love letter to the courageous women who accomplished the extraordinary on the homefront during World War II." --Beth Hoffman , New York Times bestselling author of Looking for Me and Saving CeeCee Honeycutt "Thank God for Fannie Flagg. What would Southern fiction be without her? The All-Girl Filling Station's Last Reunion is sly and funny, the characters proving that Southerners aren't just born--they can be made, too. It is a delight from beginning to end, where it hits you with an emotional impact you aren't expecting. Reading Fannie Flagg is like sitting on the porch and listening to a master storyteller, listening until it gets dark and the tale is finally told, then not wanting to move a muscle because the story is still resonating in the quiet night around you." --Sarah Addison Allen , New York Times bestselling author of The Peach Keeper From the Hardcover edition., "A beautifully told tale, world-class humor, and characters who live forever in a grateful reader's world. Fannie Flagg keeps getting better and better. The All-Girl Filling Station's Last Reunion proves it." --Pat Conroy "Flagg spins another charming tale of the peaks and valleys of everyday life. . . . If all the self-help books that promote ways to 'find yourself' were stacked in an enormous pile . . . none would approach the sweet wisdom with which Flagg infuses The All-Girl Filling Station's Last Reunion . And neither could they match the author's essential kindness, nor her unwavering tenderness toward and belief in humanity, despite all its foibles and foolishness. She understands, but she does so with love." -- Richmond Times-Dispatch "Flagg is at her South-skewering best. . . . A chuckle-while-reading book." -- The Mobile Press-Register "The kind of story that keeps readers turning pages in a fever . . . There are plot twists, adventure, heartbreak, and familial love in spades." -- Publishers Weekly "Fannie flies high, and her fans will enjoy the ride. . . . A charming story written with wit and empathy . . . just the right blend of history and fiction." -- Kirkus Reviews "Flagg's storytelling talent is on full display. Her trademark quirky characters are warm and realistic, and the narrative switches easily between the present and the past. Flagg's fans won't be disappointed in this one, and there's a lot to be said for giving tribute to the real-life WASPs. . . . Great possibilities for nonfiction pairings abound for book clubs." -- Booklist "Yet again, Flagg delivers a book full of heartwarming charm that is sure to provoke lighthearted laughter. A complex story told simply and honestly . . . another treat for Flagg fans." -- Library Journal "Fannie Flagg is a fantastic storyteller.

With its unforgettable characters, wildly hilarious scenes, and deeply touching moments, this novel is loaded with delights." --Edward Kelsey Moore "There is no novelist better at exploring the sunny side of the American soul than Fannie Flagg. Her books cast a marvelous spell--one minute I'm laughing, the next minute a lump in my throat, and then a sad smile with a rush of deep feeling. The All-Girl Filling Station's Last Reunion is charming, funny, and deeply satisfying." --Mark Childress , author of Crazy in Alabama and Georgia Bottom, "A beautifully told tale, world-class humor, and characters who live forever in a grateful reader's world.

Synopsis
"NEW YORK TIMES "BESTSELLER The one and only Fannie Flagg, beloved author of "Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe, Can t Wait to Get to Heaven, "and" I Still Dream About You, " is at her hilarious and superb best in this new comic mystery novel about two women who are forced to reimagine who they are. Mrs. Sookie Poole of Point Clear, Alabama, has just married off the last of her daughters and is looking forward to relaxing and perhaps traveling with her husband, Earle. The only thing left to contend with is her mother, the formidable Lenore Simmons Krackenberry. Lenore may be a lot of fun for other people, but is, for the most part, an overbearing presence for her daughter. Then one day, quite by accident, Sookie discovers a secret about her mother s past that knocks her for a loop and suddenly calls into question everything she ever thought she knew about herself, her family, and her future. Sookie begins a search for answers that takes her to California, the Midwest, and back in time, to the 1940s, when an irrepressible woman named Fritzi takes on the job of running her family s filling station. Soon truck drivers are changing their routes to fill up at the All-Girl Filling Station. Then, Fritzi sees an opportunity for an even more groundbreaking adventure. As Sookie learns about the adventures of the girls at the All-Girl Filling Station, she finds herself with new inspiration for her own life. Fabulous, fun-filled, spanning decades and generations, and centered on a little-known aspect of America s twentieth-century story, "The All-Girl Filling Station s Last Reunion" is another irresistible novel by the remarkable Fannie Flagg.
