The fourth edition of the acclaimed Blue Moon Café series serves up another hearty helping of Southern fiction, essays, poems, and musical musings by both seasoned prize-winners and up-and-coming writers. With stories ranging from a heartbreaking funeral for a beloved goat and an aspiring musicians move to Nashville to the memory of two children who disappear in the thick summer heat, this diverse and captivating collection is sure to satisfy everyones appetite.
Jennifer, Annie, and Marta have been friends forever. She has known Marta from childhood and had worked with Annie at her first job right out of high school and they have all stayed friends. They've been friends through fun and hard times. They partied together and they cried together through marriages and divorces. They've supported each other through the death of parents and the birth of their children. They are all about to cross over to being women of a certain age and they are doing it as single women. They are each about to turn 50 years old. Turning 50 without a man on your arm pretty much means you will spend the rest of your life single. At least that's what you read anyway. They've decided it doesn't mean you're dead inside. They might not be as young and pretty and hard bodied as they once were, but the blood is still flowing to those very vital parts of the body and any hot-blooded man would be lucky to enjoy what the ladies of a certain age have to offer. Jennifer has been divorced for 10 years and pretty much given up on the lowlife men she has met thus far. Annie is still out there looking and encouraging Jennifer not to give up on men. Marta goes in and out of relationships as she changes hairstyles and continues to search for her knight in shining armor. As Annie convinces Jennifer to venture out to the Blue Moon Café for a night of fun and dancing, intrigue and romance enter their lives.
