Flies on the Butter - Paperback

by Denise Hildreth (Author)

By leaving South Carolina, Rose Fletcher thought she had shaken the dust off her feet for good, but now she's headed south again, racing for the past and hoping to leave her present troubles behind.

When Rose Fletcher embarks on her car trip to Mullins, South Carolina, she has little idea what awaits her. A powerful DC lobbyist, Rose remains powerless over the demons of her past. With her marriage on the brink of disaster, her mind races with the chaos her life has become as her journey begins to dredge up memories of the mistakes she's made and the desperate ache of the life she once knew.

As Rose makes her long drive back to Mullins to attend her grandmother's funeral after 10 years away, it'll take the intervention of strangers and a painful miracle of grace to help her find that place called "home" once again.

This is a story of how deep roots and southern memories--like chess pie, boiled peanuts, and crazy waitresses in small town diners--can remind you of why sometimes life has to come to a screeching halt before we can learn how to live.
