“Women try to leave, over and over they try to leave and the bad wolf brings them back and dumps them in a pot of boiling water, cooking their souls and frying their resolve until nothing is left. He promises to kill them if they don’t stay. And when they stay, like good dogs, he’ll beat them and rip their skins and break their bones but he won’t kill them. Not usually. He reserves the knives and bullets, vans and screwdrivers for when she gets brave enough to take out a restraining order and show a little power. This infuriates him. He decides to put her in her place. Once and for all. That’s just the way it is. The way it will always be.”

Thanks so much, Jack. So happy you enjoyed the novel, and thrilled with this review. You're a true gentleman.
Chimes From a Cracked Southern Belle by Susan Reinhardt.Seldom have I read a book that left me with so many different emotions. Chimes From a Cracked Southern Belle is at times totally hilarious, and at other time poignant, and mysterious. The story begins with a description of how Prudy is trying to regain her independence after her minster husband runs over with the church van. Her struggle is interlaced with the daily Bible passages, and commentary her mother uses to get her mad enough to get out of bed and stand on her own. Prudy, the heroine, is a total psychological mess, and one could become depressed identifying with her, but the way Susan weaves the humor of the mother and aunt into the story line, you will laugh all the way to end.
I highly recommend reading Chimes From a Cracked Southern Belle, a second time, when one’s cheers for Prudy, and laughter will only increase.
Chimes From a Cracked Southern Belle is where poignancy and humor merge. Chimes… has the melancholy of “The Glass Menagerie”, and strength of humor in “Steel Magnolias” to engage each reader. It would make a great movie and/or play.
