Finus Bates has loved chatty, elegant Birdie Wells ever since he saw her cartwheel naked through the woods near the backwater town of Mercury, Mississippi. With "graceful, patient, insightful and hilarious" prose ("USA Today"), Watson chronicles Finus's steadfast devotion and Mercury's evolution from a sleepy backwater to a small city.
