I'm in love with a book. An honest to goodness, stay up all night, read in the car love affair! The Crowning Glory of Calla Lily Ponder by Rebecca Wells is even more fun to read than her Ya-Ya books.
Calla Lily is the name of our narrator whom we meet in 1961 in La Luna, Louisiana. The story of Calla's childhood and young adult years is magical - under the light of the La Luna moon, her mother, M'Dear, dances, sings and heals women through her hairstyling salon "The Crowning Glory Beauty Porch".
After several heartbreaks, Calla moves to New Orleans to attend L'Academie de Beauty de Crescent. Here, she finds love, more heartbreak and her true calling.
The Crowning Glory of Calla Lily Ponder is a story of friendship, love, trust, loss and coming
of age in the 70's. It's an easy read - a great beach book! I can't recommend it highly enough!
