Don't be fooled by the innocent looking cover. Ms. Mary gets straight to the mess from page one. I was not prepared for Mrs. Wiggins. I thought I was just in for some church mess. At no point during this novel did I guess what would happen next. Things went from zero to a hundred real quick. You know how we say you can't eat every bodies cooking? Well you most definitely can't eat every bodies gumbo.
