ReviewsADVANCE PRAISE FOR THE EDUCATION OF DIXIE DUPREE "Please open your heart to Dixie Dupree. With unflinching honesty and a voice that rings with authenticity, she survives the unthinkable. Her story celebrates the resiliency of the human spirit and the triumph of the imagination. An important novel, beautifully written, this is a story to cherish."--Susan Wiggs, # 1 New York Times bestselling author "A searingly honest coming of age story with a heroine unlike any other I've met in a long time. I read this book through from start to finish in one sitting, simply unable and unwilling to put it down. Here's to another beautiful novel from Donna Everhart."--Holly Chamberlin, author of Seashell Season "Secrets, lies, peach cobbler, grits, a hot Alabama sun, and a girl named Dixie Dupree who shows courage in the face of betrayal, strength when all falls down around her, and shining hope in the darkness. This is a story you'll read well into the night."--Cathy Lamb, author of The Language of Sisters "A poignant coming of age novel as gritty as red Alabama dirt. Dixie Dupree will stay with you long after you've turned the last page."--Colleen Faulkner, author of Julia's Daughters "In a powerful coming-of-age story that pitches southern charm against dark family secrets, the voice of 11-year-old Dixie Dupree captivates from the first page to the last."--Barbara Claypole White, bestselling author of The Perfect Son "Young Dixie Dupree is an indomitable spirit in this coming-of-age novel that is a heartbreaking and honest witness to the resilience of human nature and the fighting spirit and courage residing in all of us, and for those who have lived in the underbelly of betrayal and child abuse. A triumphant debut novel which can transform a brokenness, bring forth a wholeness, The Education Of Dixie Dupree would make a wonderful resource and academic book as well." - The Huffington Post (Kim Michele Richardson, author of GodPretty in the Tobacco Field), ADVANCE PRAISE FOR THE EDUCATION OF DIXIE DUPREE "Please open your heart to Dixie Dupree.

SynopsisIndieNext Pick A remarkable debut from the author of The Saints of Swallow Hill , composed in a voice as sure and resonant as that of The Secret Life of Bees . This story about mothers and daughters, the guilt and pain that pass between generations, and the truths that are impossible to hide, especially from ourselves, will take readers on a heartfelt and heartbreaking journey. "Young Dixie Dupree is an indomitable spirit in this coming-of-age novel that is a heartbreaking and honest witness to the resilience of human nature and the fighting spirit and courage residing in all of us." -- The Huffington Post , Kim Michele Richardson, author of The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek "An important novel, beautifully written, this is a story to cherish." --Susan Wiggs, # 1 New York Times bestselling author In 1969, Dixie Dupree is eleven years old and already an expert liar. Sometimes the lies are for her mama, Evie's sake--to explain away a bruise brought on by her quick-as-lightning temper. And sometimes the lies are to spite Evie, who longs to leave her unhappy marriage in Perry County, Alabama, and return to her beloved New Hampshire. But for Dixie and her brother, Alabama is home, a place of pine-scented breezes and hot, languid afternoons. Though Dixie is learning that the family she once believed was happy has deep fractures, even her vivid imagination couldn't concoct the events about to unfold. Dixie records everything in her diary--her parents' fights, her father's drinking and his unexplained departure, and the arrival of Uncle Ray. Only when Dixie desperately needs help and is met with disbelief does she realize how much damage her past lies have done. But she has courage and a spirit that may yet prevail, forcing secrets into the open and allowing her to forgive and become whole again., IndieNext Pick In 1969, Dixie Dupree is eleven years old and already an expert liar.
