Can't Wait to Get to Heaven
Combining southern warmth with unabashed emotion and side-splitting hilarity, Fannie Flagg takes readers back to Elmwood Springs, Missouri, where the most unlikely and surprising experiences of a high-spirited octogenarian inspire a town to ponder the age-old question: Why are we here?

Can’t Wait to Get to Heaven is proof once more that Fannie Flagg “was put on this earth to write”.

But is this a fair portrayal?
