In this episode, Karla and Ronna talk about 'The All Girl Filling Station's Last Reunion' by Fannie Flagg. They found it an enjoyable novel with a compelling plot and lots of history. It's the story of a modern Southern woman finding her way after her children have grown who learns her history is tied in with the Women's Air Service Pilots, or WASPs, of World War II. It was a fun story to read and a fun story to talk about.
