About the Book
|
|
Emily Harris,
anxious to escape her "rat's nest" home and "deformed alcoholic"
stepmother, leaves Pittsburgh for college in 1965. This funny and
poignant story unfolds as Emily meets kindred spirits Donna, Hedy,
and the peculiar, unfortunate looking Gena.
The four wacky freshmen create their own unorthodox sorority, Affa
Lotta Krappa. Their outrageous antics are hilarious to humiliating,
daffy to dangerous, and insulting to illegal.
By graduation things begin to unravel. Emily marries, Hedy becomes
a hippy, Donna questions her sexual identity, and Gena pursues superficial
changes, believing that "marriage, money and mammaries" are her
keys to happiness.
For the next twenty-seven years the "sisters" experience diverse
journeys. From across the country and around the world, they share
their hearts through letters.
They meet again for the 30th anniversary of Affa Lotta Krappa. The
four grandmothers pick up where they left off, and find the answers
they were searching for were always close at hand.
Chapters include:
Good Food and Elbow Room
Panty Hose Make You Mean
The Haircut that Ended My Sex Life
Death of a Saddle Shoe
