520    "With empathy, grace, humor, and piercing insight, the 
       author of gods in Alabama pens a powerful, emotionally 
       resonant novel of the South that confronts the truth about
       privilege, family, and the distinctions between perception
       and reality---the stories we tell ourselves about our 
       origins and who we really are. Superheroes have always 
       been Leia Birch Briggs' weakness. One tequila-soaked night
       at a comics convention, the usually level-headed graphic 
       novelist is swept off her barstool by a handsome and 
       anonymous Batman.  It turns out the caped crusader has 
       left her with more than just a nice, fuzzy memory. She's 
       having a baby boy--an unexpected but not unhappy 
       development in the thirty-eight year-old's life. But 
       before Leia can break the news of her impending single-
       motherhood (including the fact that her baby is biracial) 
       to her conventional, Southern family, her step-sister 
       Rachel's marriage implodes. Worse, she learns her beloved 
       ninety-year-old grandmother, Birchie, is losing her mind, 
       and she's been hiding her dementia with the help of Wattie,
       her best friend since girlhood. Leia returns to Alabama to
       put her grandmother's affairs in order, clean out the big 
       Victorian that has been in the Birch family for 
       generations, and tell her family that she's pregnant. Yet 
       just when Leia thinks she's got it all under control, she 
       learns that illness is not the only thing Birchie's been 
       hiding. Tucked in the attic is a dangerous secret with 
       roots that reach all the way back to the Civil War. Its 
       exposure threatens the family's freedom and future, and it
       will change everything about how Leia sees herself and her
       sister, her son and his missing father, and the world she 
       thinks she knows"--|cProvided by publisher.
