“I didn’t want my epitaph to be ‘She Played It Safe.’”
In 1962, Jackie Hart moved to Naples, Florida, from Boston with her husband and children. Wanting something personally fulfilling to do with her time, she starts a reading club and anonymously hosts a radio show, calling herself Miss Dreamsville.
The racially segregated town falls in love with Miss Dreamsville, but doesn’t know what to make of Jackie, who welcomes everyone into her book club, including a woman who did prison time for allegedly killing her husband, a man of questionable sexual preference, a young divorcee, as well as a black woman.
By the end of this novel, you’ll be wiping away the tears of laughter and sadness, and you just may become a bit more hopeful that even the most hateful people can see the light of humanitarianism, if they just give themselves a chance.
Read Alikes for Miss Dreamsville and the Collier County Women’s Literary Society: Miss Dreamsville and the Lost Heiress of Collier County by Amy Hill Hearth; Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle-Stop Cafe by Fannie Flagg; The Church Ladies League by Aine Dyer
