Summary

 From New York Times bestselling author Amy Hill Hearth, “a rollicking, provocative” (Ruth Pennebaker, author of Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakthrough) debut novel about a transplanted wife and mother from Boston who shakes up her new home in Florida during the early 1960s.

When she and her family move from Boston to a small, sleepy town in Florida in the early 1960s, Jackie Hart has no idea she is about to turn her new home upside down. Middle-aged and restless, Jackie is determined to find some excitement in her new town by accepting an opportunity to host a local radio show where she creates a mysterious, late-night persona, “Miss Dreamsville.” She also launches a reading group—the Collier County Women’s Literary Society—sending the conservative and racially segregated town into uproar. The only townspeople who venture to join are regarded as outsiders at best—a young gay man, a divorced woman, a poet, and a young black woman who dreams of going to college.

Evocative, moving, and inspired by a real person, Miss Dreamsville and the Collier County Women’s Literary Society will touch the heart of anyone and everyone who has ever felt like an outsider longing to fit in.
