This book is the portrait of a Texas truly learned by heart, the real Texas that lies behind the too familiar backdrop of oil rigs and Cadillacs.
Flat broke at the end of their stay in New York City, Mrs. Feeley, Mrs. Rasmussen, and Miss Tinkham can only make it as far as New Jersey on their voyage back home. When they stop by a local bar for something to lift their spirits, they find it in disrepair and the owner in none too better shape himself. As desperate as they are to make it back to San Diego, it’s just not in their nature to leave the poor guy there. And if they’re going to lend a helping hand, they might as well tidy up, serve a few beers, and see about breathing a little life into the joint—not that it does any harm to have a place to stay until they can find a way to get to the West Coast. Pull up a stool, crack open a cold one, and crack a smile with the third, uplifting and uproarious title from Mary Lasswell to feature her quick-witted altruists.
THE STORY: A romantic tale of three ladies who, though penniless, extract from life more fun than most people ever enjoy. In Mrs. Feeley's junk yard are gathered a rich assortment of young and old, including a Chinese boy, a teacher, detectives, a
With young Americans leaving to fight in WWII, Mrs. Feeley, Mrs. Rasmussen, and Miss Tinkham are overcome with patriotism and decide they owe a contribution to the war effort themselves. But when the manager of nearby Consocraft Airplane Factory doesn’t think that they’re cut out for riveting, they try a more domestic approach to help their boys overseas. The second installment of Mary Lasswell’s delightful and lighthearted stories to feature the residents of San Diego’s Noah’s Ark junkyard is full of brash do-goodery and fun. Get ready to be swept up in Mrs. Feeley and friends’ impeccable charm in this classic title about The Greatest Generation.
Kindhearted and loudmouthed Mrs. Feeley, Mrs. Rasmussen, and Miss Tinkham have only just set out on their long-awaited cross-country drive to the West Coast when the trouble begins. It’s bad enough that they wind up in a seedy, truck stop nightclub, but then it’s raided by the police! Thankfully, Chief Connolly can tell they’re decent folks and lets them off easy, but he needs a favor in return. He wants them to take a passenger on their trip; a dangerous passenger they’ll need to outwit before making it home. Mary Lasswell is firing on all cylinders again in this madcap, slapstick, high-spirited adventure—the fourth to star Mrs. Feeley and friends.
Times are tough for Mrs. Feeley, Mrs. Rasmussen, and Miss Tinkham. After eighteen years of sharing the home that brought them together, it’s become too expensive to maintain, and their neighborhood too stripped of character to boot. They set out to find a simpler life with a fixer-upper where they can live off the land, but nothing could be that simple . . . In the sixth and final story to star Mrs. Feeley and company, Mary Lasswell is once again pitch perfect with charm. See how everything works out in this uproarious last hoorah, rich with fun and inspirational kindness!
