Mrs.\n\nCoco, aged fifty-seven and feeling somewhat left behind herself, pours her considerable energy into keeping those around her in line: her remote, obsessively bargain-hunting husband; members of the Pro Arts Quartet chamber music group, which Ethyl Mae aspires to turn into an accomplished cultural jewel; her six unruly grown children, none of whom keeps the Catholic faith to their staunch convert mother's satisfaction; and the other assorted, eccentric, and endearing people of Tula Springs. Meet Duk-Soo Yoon, a forty-nine-year-old Korean doctoral candidate in tourism at nearby St. Jude State College and the Pro Arts second violinist, who suffers a secret passion for Ethyl Mae; and Gyreen LaSteele, owner of the next-door Tiger Unisex Salon, who accuses Mrs. Coco of killing her beloved chihuahua, Tee-Tee.\n\nNothing is simple - or quite as gossip portrays it - in Tula Springs, but after all upheavals and sunders pass, this wired family and community remain strongly connected.\"--BOOK JACKET."}, "latest_revision": 10, "revision": 10, "created": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2008-04-01T03:28:50.625462"}, "last_modified": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2024-07-09T23:57:54.498549"}}
