Publisher's Summary:
When elderly widow Mimi Wilson decides to sell her beloved but rundown home, she sets into motion a chain of events that will forever alter the lives of those she loves. Charming Appleton, Indiana, will get a new Git & Go in the spot where her house stands. Mimi will get to spend her Golden Years in Florida with her daughter. And her granddaughter, Kate, will get one more chance to find love and happiness.
When Kate arrives back home to oversee her grandmother's estate sale, she finds the street she grew up on is in a state of decline and most of her old neighbors have moved on. Her childhood friend is hospitalized following a suicide attempt, and her high school sweetheart is recently divorced.
Kate plans to spend one week in her old home town, just long enough to put her grandmother's things in order. But being back in Appleton stirs old emotions and chips away at her resolve, obscuring the best path forward.
Set between 1952 and 1977, Hanna Street draws listeners into an era when there was no such thing as political correctness. Smoke free communities did not exist. The closest thing to social media was the CB radios craze. And traveling carnivals were the summer's big entertainment. Hanna Street offers a glimpse of small town life during some of the most celebrated decades in American history.

A good day's read
Hanna Street centers around a neighborhood past its prime and the people who lived there in its best years. The fact that they have all grown old, grown up, or moved on, does not mean the end of their friendships. To the contrary, they have remained irrevocably entangled in one another's lives in the most charming way. The problems of one are the problems of all, no matter how much they attempt to have private lives.
What I like best about this story is that it's relayed in the conversational tone with terrific attention to detail and entertaining commentary along the way. 'Like a talkative neighbor has stopped by for coffee and is telling such a good story that reader/host simply has to put on a second pot and invite them to stay longer. In "Hanna Street" we see the family unit at its gory best: all the personalities and drama and heart break and shared joys and tribulations and love, and subterfuge, and--yes--even murder--but in an everyday (?) fashion--the way it happens to real people. If you like tales about women at their strongest and weakest and how we can carry one another--this story is for you. And--guys--if you want to know what we women do when you're not around and what makes us so darned interesting--you might want to check this one out too.
