Bestselling author and comedienne Fannie Flagg reads from her new book, I Still Dream of You. Her first book in four years is set in Birmingham, Ala. Here's the plot:

"Though her friends think Maggie has the perfect life, she's actually perfectly miserable. The former Miss Alabama is worried about how her life has turned out — she's given up on her dream of living in a beautiful home like Crestview, and instead is a real estate agent in Birmingham. But just when Maggie begins to wonder if there's much point in going on, her life takes a wild turn, and she finds herself catapulted into one surprising discovery after the next. As Maggie learns valuable lessons about the nature of friendship, the challenges of modern life, and the dangers of impossible dreams, she starts to see how much more there is to life than what can be listed in a Miss Alabama bio."

Flagg is best known for her book, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café, which was made into a beloved movie.
