Oliver’s Song: Della Boudreaux, a recovering alcoholic, estranged from her family, pulls herself up from ruin and onto the road of redemption. After earning a law degree from Tulane, she returns to Mobile, Alabama and establishes her new office at the foot of Mobile’s historic Bankhead Tunnel. Her first client, a young jazz pianist named Ollie Fitzsimmons, presents her with a mystery-why has a bass case with a haul of illegal drugs been left in Ollie’s care? And why is there an old violin stuffed in the case along with the drugs? Della Boudreaux is a survivor-wise, witty, and often inspiring. Oliver’s Song offers plenty of surprises and takes traditional women’s fiction in a few new directions.
