Looking for Salvation at the Dairy Queen by debut author and Nashvillian Susan Gregg Gilmore is a familiar story and one that is at once inspiring. Susan Gregg Gilmore brings the characters and the little town of Ringgold, Georgia to life in this catchy and inspiring debut novel.
Looking for Salvation at the Dairy Queen was inspired by summer vacations spent with Susan's grandfather, a revival-bred preacher, who, after church on Sundays, always took his grandchildren to the Dairy Queen. Susan would love to come to one of your meetings or workshops to talk about the writing process and how she drew from personal experience to write about a fictional world.
Summary:
Catherine Grace Cline's family has been a fixture in the small town of Ringgold, GA for generations. Her father is a third-generation Baptist preacher and the family's ability to grow the perfect tomato is known all throughout the South. Even so, Catherine Grace spends every Saturday afternoon eating Dilly Bars at the Dairy Queen and dreaming of life in the big city, far away from Ringgold. Just as her wish comes true, a tragedy brings her home and to the realization that the place she's struggled to escape from all her life might just be where she belongs. Looking for Salvation at the Dairy Queen is the touching story of one young woman's discovery of her home and family, herself, and her dreams.
