The town of Ringgold, Georgia, has a population of 1,923, one traffic light, one Dairy Queen, and one Catherine Grace Cline. The daughter of Ringgold's third-generation Baptist preacher, Catherine Grace is quick-witted, more than a little stubborn, and dying to escape her small-town life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEvery Saturday afternoon, she sits at the Dairy Queen, eating Dilly Bars and plotting her getaway to Atlanta. And when, with the help of a family friend, the dream becomes a reality, she immediately packs her bags, leaving her family and the boy she loves to claim the life she's always imagined. But before things have even begun to get off the ground in Atlanta, tragedy brings Catherine Grace back home. As a series of extraordinary events alter her perspective--and sweeping changes come to Ringgold itself--Catherine Grace begins to wonder if her place in the world may actually be, against all odds, right where she began. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIntelligent, charming, and utterly readable, \u003ci\u003eLooking for Salvation at the Dairy Queen\u003c\/i\u003e marks the debut of a talented new literary voice.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSusan Gregg Gilmore\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the novels \u003ci\u003eLooking for Salvation at the Dairy Queen\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Improper Life of Bezellia Grove\u003c\/i\u003e.
