520			_a"It's 1964 and Eliza Kratke is mostly content. Married thirty years, she is long settled in Bayard, Texas, with two grown children, a nice house, a little dog, and a routine. But her husband has a secret, and Eliza has not been brave enough to demand he tell her what it is. So when her husband dies suddenly, the ground doesn't just shift under Eliza's feet-it falls away entirely. She not only discovers his secret, but that it leaves her with nothing-except the realization that she has known nothing true about her life. How should she come to terms with all that has been a lie? How can she live with herself? What emerges from this wreckage is a profoundly compelling portrait of a woman wonderfully nuanced, worn down by life to a gemstone quality of durability and self-reliance as she fights to find her own path forward. By taking business classes and moving into a hotel filled with aspiring young people, The Sweet Vidalia, Eliza gathers new friends and new possibilities. But with each, she finds that it isn't so simple to leave the past behind. Sweet Vidalia not only explores what it means to be honest with ourselves and with one another, but asks: what will we do with the truth when we find it?"-- _cProvided by publisher.
