[close] I suppose some of us have to get really dirty before we can become truly clean.

I was allegedly South Dakota’s most famous old lady.
Sixteen years ago I survived my old man’s murder

Never again.
Never again will I surrender my heart.
Never again will I sacrifice to the Club.

But that all changed in one night.

I came home and crashed into him,
and my past and present blew up in my face.
Both of us lonely, running on empty, and unwilling to admit it.

Until now.
Now I feel things I’d forgotten about, want things I’d cut out of my insides.

Love not only stings when you lose it, when it’s ripped away from you.
When it first sinks its teeth in you, it can cut just as raw and sting just as deep.

I’d forgotten that.

42 year old Grace "Little Sister" Quillen quit her job, packed her things and hauled ass when her older sister Ruby called. Just like that. Grace fled Meager, South Dakota 16 years ago and has been floating ever since. Not ready to face her hometown, she stops at Dead Ringer's Roadhouse for a drink or two. She takes a man back to her motel for the night. Once she sees his ta ...more

I've had this book for some time now but never really started reading it. I was in a funk and decided to start reading and boy did I fall hard for this book. I fell in love with the characters and at times Grace (little sister ) upset me but I really enjoyed the book. I am going to read the whole series in a few days and I know this is one of those series that stays with you and you return to enjoy time and time again. ...more
