Lillian enjoyed the thrill of courtship, or so her granddaughters thought, considering the eccentric Southerner was married seven times. No matter her flaws, she was loved by her three granddaughters, Ginger, Penny and Rose.

Nine months after Lillian’s death, the three, now middle-aged, come together for one last weekend at their grandmother’s cottage home on St. Simons Island to prepare the house for its new owners. With almost 10 marriages between them, the granddaughters hope to find more than antiques and childhood memories; rather, they aim to find clues from Lillian’s life to them bear the unbearable in their own lives and marriages. Instead, they find in Lillian a woman who stood in faith and left a legacy of love and forgiveness.

Angela Hunt’s The Fine Art of Insincerity is a tale of sisterhood and friendship. She not only addresses serious choices women face, but also will hold readers’ interest with Lillian’s eccentricity and no-nonsense wisdom. Readers will come away knowing judgment and insincerity lead to heartache, but truth releases forgiveness.
