Sleeping at the Starlite Motel: and Other Adventures on the Way Back Home

Here, among the man-eating gardens and creeping Spanish moss, are cousin Mandon, who dreams of reuniting the family's scattered Chippendale chairs, and Nockerd Sockett, who for one brief shining moment was Person in Charge at the Our Place Your Eating Pleasure cafe. Bailey takes us to the sinkhole that was once the Garden of Eden and to her first-grade classroom, where her duties include performing the occasional Heimlich maneuver and attending computer school only to somehow end up at the dog track instead.
