A Library Journal Editors' Pick BEA 2014When Ibby Bell's father dies unexpectedly in the summer of 1964, her mother deposits Ibby with her eccentric grandmother, Fannie, and throws in her father's urn for good measure. Fannie's New Orleans house is like no place Ibby has ever been - and Fannie is like no one she has ever met. Fortunately, Fannie's black cook, Queenie, and her smart-mouthed daughter, Dollbaby, take it upon themselves to initiate Ibby into the ways of the South.
