Charli is convinced that the women in her family are the victims of a curse—they go through husbands at an alarming rate. At a very young age, she begins a journal and records the often bewildering conversations of the women. How can she avoid the curse? Aunt Nellie must have the answers. The journal reappears at critical moments in Charli’s life, and beautiful Aunt Nellie is linked to each rediscovery. Each time Charli reads the journal, she learns new secrets and gains new insights. Will she find the answer, or will she, too, fall victim?
Nellie hopes you notice the Seal of Excellence. We're very proud of it. |

Women and men, love and betrayal, but family most of all. Aunt Nellie B is one of my favorites yet. This story catches your imagination and the laugh out loud moments are many. --LOC Amazon review

This is a great family saga. I love the complex psychology in Dixiane's books. --Rob Johnson
I love the voice of Charli, especially as the child.

Dixiane took on a very challenging method of storytelling for Aunt Nellie B and triumphed...I loved the personal dynamics and relationship of all the characters. She crossed social and cultural boundaries with fluid ease. Charli's family felt like real, dynamic people, and the main character's into their personalities gave them a lot of depth...Their little quirks such as switching to Spanish when discussing secrets, or fears that divided them, made them feel like a real family. Dixiane has written a fascinating and thoroughly enjoyable story of personal tragedy, courage, and redemption. --Kate Policani
