From Library Journal:
Honey Shugart believes in Al-Anon and angels; they've armored her through marriage to an alcoholic and then years of widowhood. Now, Sunday church, Monday bingo, Tuesday nursing-home visits--her life is as neatly patterned as the quilts she sews on Fridays. Then her sister's sudden death forces her to decide between money and family tradition and to acknowledge her attraction to a retired lawyer who has moved into her rural Alabama community. Nothing decrepit about these old folks; the characters are lively and funny. Covington's first novel was Gathering Home ( LJ 11/15/88). Give this one to your readers who enjoyed Olive A. Burns's Cold Sassy Tree ( LJ 10/15/84) and Clyde Edgerton's Walking Across Egypt ( LJ 3/15/87).

Honey Shugart, an Alabamian widow who leads a satisfying if predictable life, faces the death of her sister and the threatened re-zoning and sale of her former family homestead. "A quiet, satisfying tale about the vitality of life, love and choices in the 'golden years,' " said PW. "Honey is a capti vating heroine."
