Ahnwee Days

“Ahnwee Days is this season’s funniest, most tender-hearted novel …”—Mary Ann Grossmann, St. Paul Pioneer Press Life is not going as planned for Sybil Voss. Growing up in a small Minnesota town she had one goal: to get out as soon as she could. She succeeded, but now she’s back, 30-something, single, and the sole caregiver for her elderly father who can only communicate through sitcom jingles. But Sybil’s making the best of it, running an antique store, serving as mayor, and organizing a town festi-val, Ahnwee Days. Things is, it’s not going well for her tiny town of Ahnwee. The lake glows in the dark, there’s a wind tur-bine on the edge of town that golfs cars into the rough, and the neighboring hog farm makes the place smell like pig shit. How could it get worse? It can and does. Soon everyone seems to want to tear down the town. With her friends—a lonely yarn shop proprietor and a little person beef jerky king with anger management issues—the mayor is fighting back.
