"It All Comes Back to You is one of those stories you
need to savor. You want to put the book down so as to have more to read
tomorrow, but you can't. It becomes attached to you, a part of you."
Dan Brown, Author of Reunion
Alabama, 1947.
War's over, cherry-print dresses, parking above the city
lights, swing dancing.
Beautiful, seventeen-year-old Violet lives in a perfect
world.
Everybody loves her.
In 2012, she's still beautiful, charming, and surrounded by
admirers.
Veronica "Ronni" Johnson, licensed practical nurse
and aspiring writer, meets the captivating Violet in the assisted living
facility where Violet requires no assistance, just lots of male attention. When
she dies, she leaves Ronni a very generous bequest―only if Ronni completes a
book about her life within one year. As she's drawn into the world of young
Violet, Ronni is mesmerized by life in a simpler time. It's an irresistible
journey filled with revelations, some of them about men Ronni knew as octogenarians
at Fairfield Springs.
Struggling, insecure, flailing at the keyboard, Ronni
juggles her patients, a new boyfriend, and a Samsonite factory of emotional
baggage as she tries to craft a manuscript before her deadline.
But then the secrets start to emerge, some of them in
person.
And they don't stop.
Everything changes.
Alternating chapters between Homecoming Queen Violet in 1947
and can't-quite-find-her-crown Ronni in the present, IT ALL COMES BACK TO YOU
is book club fiction at its hilarious, warm, sad, outrageous, uplifting, and
stunning best. In the tradition of Major Pettigrew's Last Stand and Olive
Kitteridge, Duke delivers an unforgettable elderly character to treasure and a
young heroine to steal your heart.
