Summary: Nobody does it better.
Review: I loved the complexity of all the relationships - the love of another woman and how it plays out in her life, and the dilemmas of a Southern expatriate digging around in her roots. Plus it's a gripping thriller - I couldn't put it down! Get it, read it.

Review: I'm not normally clammoring to write a review, but I have to say, this book is awesome. Have you ever finished reading a book and you've got this goofy grin on your face 'cause the journey was that much fun? That's how I felt after reading No Daugher of the South. There were a couple times I laughed out loud so hard, my girlfriend looked at me like I'd lost my mind. So what goes through *your* mind when you get to thinking way too much? Laurie's got to deal with the South, identity, love, sex, an ex-husband, racism, homophobia, coming out, really dysfunctional families, AND the KKK - while solving a mystery, figuring out what the hell is going on in her life, and making me laugh all at the same time. Let's just say I can totally relate to her ability to get into way too much trouble, just by being herself. She's got a hot head, and I had a whole lot of fun going along for the ride. I recommend this book to anyone regardless of orientation, ethnicity, or whether you're a mystery fan. It's just a darn good read!

Review: This is a fun, well-written, unconventional story of a brash, irreverent journalist whose search into her lover's past reveals much about her own. The characters are quirky, complex, and believable. A book you can get lost in. Highly recommended!

Review: Webb manages it all: great story, enormous relevance, superb style. NO DAUGHTER OF THE SOUTH is a can't-put-it-down winner -- Laurie Coldwater is a woman to keep an eye on. And Webb is a writer to watch. Her next book can't come too soon -- she's earned my trust and my admiration. I'd follow her anywhere. You should too.
