{"product_id":"girl-talk-9780743400831","title":"Girl Talk","description":"Lissy Jablonski was fifteen during the summer of 1985. That was the summer her father, a soft-spoken gynecologist, up and left her mother for a redheaded bank teller. The same summer Lissy and her mother disappeared from their quiet New Hampshire lives to have an adventure of their own amid a cast of unlikely characters, including a Valium-addicted ex-debutante and a suspected mobster. The summer the reliably comforting \"girl talks\" with her mother began to reveal startling secrets. \u003cbr\u003e Now an almost-thirty-year-old advertising executive in Manhattan, faced with her father's imminent death and newly pregnant by her married ex-lover, an unmoored Lissy finds herself looking back across the years. Contending with her affections for an old flame and his doomed marriage to a Korean stripper named Kitty Hawk, as well as the tangible legacies of that unmentionable summer with her mother, she realizes that she has become more like her mother than she ever could have imagined.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julianna Baggott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Washington Square Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.30w x 0.63d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780743400831\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKliatt\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2002 pg. 16\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBaggott, Julianna:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eJulianna Baggott'\u003c\/b\u003es work has appeared in such publications as \u003ci\u003eThe Southern Review, Ms.\u003c\/i\u003e magazine, \u003ci\u003ePoetry, Best American Poetry 2000, \u003c\/i\u003e and read on NPR's \u003ci\u003eTalk of the Nation.\u003c\/i\u003e The nationally bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eThe Miss America Family\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eGirl Talk, \u003c\/i\u003e as well a book of poems entitled \u003ci\u003eThis Country of Mothers, \u003c\/i\u003e she teaches at Florida State University and lives in Tallahassee with her husband and three children.
