Description
Diva Geneva Jordan has performed for millions on stage, screen and television but now has a leading role in Minnesota. She has agreed to look after her thirteen-year-old nephew, a boy with Down's syndrome, while his parents take a long-overdue break. Though Geneva and her sister, Ann, are as different as night and day ('I being night, of course, dark and dramatic'), Geneva remembers she had a family before she had a star on her door. But so accustomed is she to playing the lead, finding herself a supporting actress in someone else's life is strange and unexplored territory. Then the discovery of an old scrapbook that she and her sister created long ago starts her thinking of things beyond fame. For THE GREAT MYSTERIOUS is a collection of thoughts and feelings dedicated to answering life's BIG questions - far outside the spotlight's glow...

Join them at the Cup O'Delight cafe for a good time' Fannie Flagg, author of FRIED GREEN TOMATOES AT THE WHISTLE STOP CAFE 'This book deserves to be read on the strength of its title alone... Spanning forty years, from the swinging 60s up to the 90s, this is a big-hearted slice of life that's forever teetering between tears and laughter' MAIL ON SUNDAY on ANGRY HOUSEWIVES EATING BON BONSMore details
