The Madhatter's Guide to Chocolate, Second Edition

Welcome to the town of Chattahoochee, Florida. Imagine living down the road from a mental institution and growing up in a world still drenched in the traditions of the Deep South. Hattie Davis couldn't wait to get away. Returning home for her mother's funeral, she reconnects with a dear and flamboyant friend, Jake Witherspoon. Despite the unfortunate situation that brought them together, the penned memoir of a deceased and beloved mental patient inspires Hattie and Jake to join forces and take the town by storm. Yet their new entrepreneurial lives stall when Jake is kidnapped and beaten by two local teenage boys. Apparently, the discovery of Jake's homosexuality comes easier for Hattie than some others. Interwoven with a sprinkle of magical realism, The Madhatter's Guide to Chocolate is rich with small town humor, tragedy, and extraordinary twists of fate, a touching tale of a Southern town's revival you will laugh, cry, and cheer over.

About the Author
Rhett DeVane is a true Southerner, born and raised in the muggy, bug-infested forests of the Florida panhandle. For the past forty years, Rhett has made her home in Tallahassee, located in Florida's Big Bend area, where she splits her workdays between her two professions: dental hygienist and novelist. Rhett is the author of seven published mainstream humorous fiction novels set in her hometown of Chattahoochee, a place with "two stoplights and a mental institution on the main drag." She is the coauthor of two novels. In addition, Rhett has released two books in a series of middle grade fiction. A number of her short fiction pieces have appeared in anthologies. Her novel "Suicide Supper Club" won first place in 2014 for fiction from the Florida Authors and Publishers Association. Rhett uses her writing to remain balanced in an unbalanced world. When she's deep in her writing, she's as happy as this life on earth can imagine.
