There, at The End of the Road of the South, the family malt shop freezer holds unspeakable things, society maven Mrs. Dot hosts Junior Debutante meetings and shares inspired thoughts for the week (such as \"sincerity is as valuable as radium\"), and Daisy Fay's Daddy hatches a quick-cash scheme that involves resurrecting his daughter from the dead in a carefully orchestrated miracle. Along the way, Daisy Fay does a lot of growing up, emerging as one of the most hilarious, appealing, and prized characters in modern fiction. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eDaisy Fay and the Miracle Man\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Sheer unbeatable entertainment.\"\u003cb\u003e--\u003ci\u003eCosmopolitan\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Unforgettable and irresistible.\"\u003cb\u003e--\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eChattanooga Free Press\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Side-splittingly funny.\"\u003cb\u003e--\u003ci\u003eCleveland\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e Plain Dealer\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFannie Flagg\u003c\/b\u003e's career started in the fifth grade when she wrote, directed, and starred in her first play, titled \u003ci\u003eThe Whoopee Girls, \u003c\/i\u003e and she has not stopped since.
