Cold sassy tree sequel6/4/2023 He gets run over by a train and lives to tell about it he kisses his first girl, and survives that too. As the newlyweds' chaperone, conspirator, and confidant, Will is privy to his one-armed, renegade grandfather's second adolescence meanwhile, he does some growing up of his own. Boggled by the sheer audacity of it all, and not a little jealous of his grandpa's new wife, Will nevertheless approves of this May-December match and follows its progress with just a smidgen of youthful prurience. And young Will Tweedy suddenly finds himself eyewitness to a major scandal. Rucker Blakeslee announces one July morning in 1906 that he's aiming to marry the young and freckledy milliner, Miss Love Simpson-a bare three weeks after Granny Blakeslee has gone to her reward-the news is served up all over town with that afternoon's dinner. The one thing you can depend on in Cold Sassy, Georgia, is that word gets around-fast. The lessons of life and death, of piousness and irreverence, form the basis of these memorable characters and their stories. This novel of warm humor and honesty is told by Willy Tweedy, a 14-year-old boy living in a small, turn-of-the-century Georgia town.
