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.

Two words: Double. Zipper.
Size: Small, Color: Purple
Great backpack for transitioning out of diaper bag but not yet ready to fling caution to the wind and leave the house with nothing. The real win on this is the double zipper. Zipping one way only is the worrrrst, and you don’t have to with this. So if you end up getting another one, that’s fine, but do yourself a favor and confirm the double zipper.

It is the perfect size for any toddler. It is easy to clean. There is a small pouch in the inside to help with organization. My daughter is able to zip it up with out any trouble. Great quality for the cost.

Comfortable
Size: X-Large, Color: Organic Cotton 5 Black Pack
Waist band and band around thighs are 4/5 because theyre almost nonexistent. That's the kind of underwear/shorts I feel most comfortable in. The shorts are pretty breathable and the only thing I disliked was how short it was, but thats on me. True to size. It wasnt a loose fit but it wasnt super tight.

perfect
I chose a size Large, which I normally wear in women's underwear. I am 5'4" and 158 lbs. The fit was perfect. They stayed put and didn't ride up. The material is soft. Machine wash and dry well. No complaints to speak of.
