A psychological and poignant novel of those wounds of the heart. In the Deep South and what we do to one another .A prominent Alabama family caught up in the torn fabric of contemporary American life, whose world comes crashing down around them. Most things could be explained and understood while others will go unnamed and inexplicable to all who suffered them. Perhaps what really happened was rather tragic, however, no one quite knows. In the South with fading memories and the sweetest scent of late night Confederate jasmine in the Mobile breeze, everything seemed to surround a dark-haired young woman and her family, though it's hard to clearly remember all those years, and of course, the reasons why. Hers was a family that never seemed to open their hearts to anyone, and the marriage he entered would be as treacherous as their own desperate lives. It seemed doomed from the very beginning, and nothing could or would change that, certainly not these people. It was a flowering garden abloom with unfortunate intention "Colbert writes with beauty, precision, and authority. "Mobile Was a Catholic Town" unfolds with unforgettable characters in a setting that grounds the reader with its detail and sense of three dimensional power. A gorgeous, sophisticated book.--" Taylor Larsen, author of "Stranger, Father, Beloved"
