Reminiscent of Don't Stop the Carnival-the Herman Wouk novel Jimmy Buffet liked so much-The Bird in Your Heart is the quirky tale of an Atlanta advertising executive, who divorces, loses his job, and returns to his family's ancestral home on a South Carolina sea island. He plans to sail off to see the world but his mother is going blind and the old place needs huge repairs. Low Country traditions, Gullah culture, and oddball island ways create a Low Coiuntry tangle described as "like a Sue Monk Kidd book and a Pat Conroy book had a baby and then THAT baby grew up and had a baby with a John Kennedy Toole book." Just right for beach, boat, and book club people.

What do you need to know about Upriver?Judd Jesup is back, fresh from his experience in Bywater. If you've read that book, you should be primed and ready for this one. It may also help if you have some knowledge of Storyville, the redlight district of late-nineteenth-century/early-twentieth-century New Orleans where jazz was born. Or if you've heard of Jelly Roll Morton. But if you know nothing on these subjects, don't worry. This trip will take you back to those days. Time, it seems, isn't at all what we think it is. Music, as Judd learns, is the real magic. And Storyville? Well, it just sounds like a place where stories are born.
