Dixieland Sushi

Jen Nakamara Taylor didn't have a conventional childhood. In her hometown of Dixieland, Arkansas, most girls' mothers didn't serve sushi at their tenth birthday parties. As a television producer living in Chicago, she thinks she's left her childhood insecurities behind. Then she receives an invitation to the marriage of her grammar-school crush to her beauty-queen cousin. The result is a search to find a suitable date, an eventful trip back South, and the wedding. The core of the book is the portrayal of a woman confronting her past and embracing her present.
