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.
