More About This Book

Overview

Few things are as lasting as the bond between sisters. In her poignant debut, Elizabeth Bass explores the lengths one cobbled-together family will go to for each other. . .

Sassy Spinster Farm is a place to find solace. At least, that's what it's become since Rue and her sister, Laura, transformed their childhood Texas homestead into a successful tourist destination. It's where Rue is raising her pre-teen daughter on her own—while trying to keep her outspoken sister in check. It's not easy, but together, it seems there's nothing the two can't handle—until an unexpected, and not entirely welcome guest shows up in the middle of one warm summer night.

Moving and uplifting, here is a beautifully written novel about the bonds we are born into and those we create for ourselves—and of the strength that comes in loving without limits.

"Completely wonderful." -Beth Harbison

"Funny, poignant, and deeply satisfying." —Nancy Thayer

"A deliciously great book." —Cathy Lamb

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Bass's sparkling debut will inspire laughs and tears as the sisters of Sassy Spinster Farm experience one of the most memorable summers of their lives. Cancer survivor Rue Anderson; her sister, Laura Rafferty; and military veteran Webb Saunders run a successful Sweetgum, Tex., farm where boarders can learn “hands-on about planting, harvesting, canning, and storing.” Despite some problems—Rue's just out of chemo and sharing custody of her 11-year-old daughter with her now engaged to be married ex-husband—things have a way of running themselves until the unexpected arrival of Heidi Dawn Bogue, Rue and Laura's bratty little stepsister, who's all grown up, on the run from a Brooklyn “psycho embezzler mobster,” and seeking sanctuary even though she knows Laura despises her. With bountiful grace and a real feeling for her characters, Bass creates a three-hanky delight by finding the earthy, homespun humor the women learn to embrace even in the most difficult situations.

    Readers will enjoy this character driven Texas family drama

    Cancer victim Rue Anderson; her sister Laura Rafferty; and veteran Webb Saunders run the Sassy Spinster Farm in, Texas. The spread proves a great success as the "inmates" guests want to get down and dirty with work on a farm like planting and harvesting, etc. . Having just finished chemo treatment, Rue looks forward to sharing joint custody of her tweener daughter with her ex.

    However, her recovery has a setback when the cancer returns. Worse is the return of the siblings' younger pain in the butt stepsister Heidi Dawn Bogue to the farm. Heidi hides her reason for returning to a place she loathed when her mom married the sisters' dad when she was a teen. In fact she needs to stay low as she is on the lam from her psychopathic Brooklyn embezzler boyfriend.

    Readers will enjoy this character driven Texas family drama due to a strong lead trio and a solid support cast even if the Brooklyn mobster is somewhat stereotyped. Done with humor and wit (for instance, naming a child Portia is not Shakespeare literary allusion but an expensive car) Miss You Most Of All is a profound poignant relationship drama as three sisters find their groove.

    A good fast read

    It was a good story on friendship and love. Confusing sometimes on how the author jumps around.

    Kept you reading but dropped off in the end

    The characters really do get you involved..you sort of know what is going to happen in the end and you wonder where it all leads to. The ending is a little rushed, and leaves you wanting more but overall, this book is a good, easy read.

    Excellent Read!

    Elizabeth Bass's debut novel, Miss You Most of All, is a book that will make you laugh, cry, and never lose hope. Set on a small farm in Texas, two sisters house boarders as a way to generate funds for their farm. Typically women, these boarders learn how to plant crops, sell them, and learn the daily chores of a working farm. While each set of boarders is limited to 2 weeks on the farm, Elizabeth Bass brings to life these smaller characters who the reader finds missing every time there stay has ended. From Becca, the attorney who loves to have an early morning run, to Janine who is a single woman that endlessly flirts with Webb, a worker on the farm, each of these characters are charming and bring some much needed breaks to the seriousness in parts of this book. Rue is the oldest of the two, who has recently ended chemo treatments for breast cancer. She is the peacemaker in the family and finds the best in everyone. Ever so positive, despite her own battles with cancer, she is the calm and steady persona in an eclectic household. She has one daughter, Erica, who lives on the farm with her. Erica is a mini-Laura: loves the farm and her animals, has a mind of her own and will share it, and has no fear. Laura is the younger of the two, who has a brassy attitude and never holds back her thoughts. Laura is the character that most readers will certainly disagree with her attitude and interactions with others. While she is a difficult character, who certainly lives up to her name: Sassy Spinster, underneath all that tough skin is someone that loves her sister tremendously and worries for her always. She also loves her chicken, Fred, who has his own challenges, too! While both of them are hosting their first boarders of the season, their estranged step-sister, Heidi shows up at the farm unannounced. Heidi has an unusual dilemma and is hiding out on the farm in hopes to evade those who know what happened in NY. Heidi shares the same love Rue has regarding classic movies and music of all genres. Together, they enjoy challenging each other with movie trivia and watching old movies with their boarders. While on the farm, Heidi realizes her potential and soon begins helping Rue with the cooking duties. Elizabeth Bass is exceptional in the way she brings everyone's lives together, while also letting their own stories develop. The characters have some interesting twists and turns that will bring lots of joy as you read it. I must say, I balled my eyes out during certain parts of the book. Worse, I had to continue reading through tears and snot, after all.how else would I know what finally happens??? While there were some predictable moments and some far fetched scenarios, I still found myself deeply engaged in the story. When Erica realizes everyone has been acting as if Rue is fine and does not have cancer, I realized I was no different. I found myself wishing her to be cancer-free and doing much better than what was really happening. I love the tender moments Rue has with her family and the crazy moments Laura has, too. I certainly won't watch The Wizard of Oz without thinking of the Sassy Spinsters and wishing their farm actually existed, too!! During this particular summer, life on Sassy Spinster Farm, surely will never be the same. And..neither will you! I highly recommend this book!!

    Must read

    When I got about 100 pages into this story I felt as if I had figured everything out that was going to happen and truely I did for the most part, however the shocking thing here is that I styed with this book, read the whole thing even sure I knew what was going to happen. Equally shocking is that I highly recommend this book dispite the predictablility I felt it had. The characters are so well developed and the setting is calm, the story just pulls you in. You get so involved with the characters that you cannot help but start reading quicker and quicker. I was sad to see the book end! It reminded me a great deal of the Friday Night Knitting Club (minus the knitting!) which I loved. If you are interested in getting involved with a fictional family, feeling their sorrows and joys, then read this one, it will stay with you for quite a while.
