In "The Southern Cross," Chanel, a girl of easy virtue and dubious reputation, chronicles her cruise around the Caribbean with three Atlanta developers. "I may be old, but I'm not dead," begins Alice Scully, scandalizing her retirement-home writers' group in "The Happy Memories Club." And prim, old-maid Sarah is titillated by the housekeeper's horrific account of her daughter's "blue wedding.". --Source: Publisher ; Lee Smith is a novelist, short story writer, and educator.
