Publisher's summary
Ten years later, God has broken His end of the deal. Alabama has landed on Arlene's Chicago doorstep in the form of her high school archenemy, a young woman who wants to find the golden-haired football hero who disappeared during their senior year.
To make matters worse, Arlene's African-American boyfriend, Burr, has given her an ultimatum; introduce him to her lily-white family or he's gone. Arlene would rather burn up in a fire than let him meet her steel magnolia Aunt Florence; her eccentric, half-mad Mama; her sweet-as-pecan-pie Cousin Clarice; and all the rest of her deeply racist kith and kin.
But the fickle finger of fate is pointing her south. All too soon she and Burr are on their way to confront Arlene's redneck roots, the secret she ran from, and the crime that stole her peace of mind. Back in the small town of her girlhood, Arlene's demons are closing in, and after a decade of running away, Arlene must face them all. Yet while the truth threatens to destroy the life she has built for herself, it just may open her eyes to a love powerful enough to revise her past and alter her future.
Crackling with humor, defiantly endearing characters, and plot twists that will astonish even the most jaded reader, Gods in Alabama will send you careening from tears to laughter and back. Most of all, it brings a unique, rough-around-the-edges heroine to life and makes her a permanent part of your own.

"Cleverly disguised as a leisurely paced southern novel, this debut rockets to the end, even as the plot turns back on itself, surprising characters and readers alike. Book clubs will enjoy this saucy tale, as will fans of southern fiction with a twist." (Booklist)

Story
This is not a simple story. This is not even just one story. There’s a boy, and there’s a girl. But there’s so much more than that. I was going home. Not forever; only long enough to watch my eternally irresponsible father marry a girl who happened to be my childhood enemy. There were no plans to embark on some crazy sex odyssey with a wild 19-year old baseball player. Easton Malone is insufferable, crude, and far too close. The hot, reckless days we shared should never have happened. I would forget him.

Charles Wang is mad at America. A brash, lovable immigrant businessman who built a cosmetics empire and made a fortune, he's just been ruined by the financial crisis. Now all Charles wants is to get his kids safely stowed away so that he can go to China and attempt to reclaim his family's ancestral lands - and his pride. Outrageously funny and full of charm, The Wangs vs. the World is an entirely fresh look at what it means to belong in America - and how going from glorious riches to (still name-brand) rags brings one family together in a way money never could.

Doesn't Disappoint
Any additional comments?
Joshilyn Jackson might just be my favorite "new" author. Lucky for me she is not new to writing so I have a few more of her books to read. The first novel of J. Jackson's that I read was A Grown Up Kind of Pretty, what a delight! Her ability to draw the reader into the lives of her often troubled, but definitely lovable, characters is nothing short of genius. Gods in Alabama was just what I was looking for from this author. I loved every moment of it and was sad when it ended as I wanted to stay with Arlene/Lena just a little while longer.
Get this book, it will not disappoint.

Shame on the publisher
I have heard many people say what an excellent book this is, and how audio is the best way to read it. I agree that the story is compelling, with many surprising elements, and the narrator is perfect. Unfortunately, the publisher seems to think it's necessary to insert music so that we don't get bored. That music turns up in odd places that make no sense, the type of music has nothing to do with what is going on when they insert it, and the volume is such that it competes with the narrator. It's unfortunate that they ruined such a near-perfect production with that nonsense. Enjoy this excellent book, but be prepared for the music to crash your experience.

wow: I really liked this one, And the lady that did the read couldn't have fit the story better.
That is the one thing they makes any audio book interesting when the reader fits the story so well.Good job... The story was so good I couldn't stop, As soon as I got the chance the book was on. I just hope this isn't the last of this author that comes to audible. Hats off I loved it... Teresa from San Angelo Texas...
P.S. It kinda reminded me of the nevada barr deep south. Try her series there good too...

Suspenseful Surprise
Any additional comments?
I stumbled upon this book and really enjoyed it. The last 2 hours were so climactic, I had to finish it in one sitting. Some of the inner dialogue an communication between the Arlene and Burr was unnecessary though. Very effective narrator too, I would listen to her again.

A funny, engaging and excellent Southern story
I found this novel exceptionally good and the performance excellent. The story moves forward at a perfect pace as we enter the lives of a rural Alabama family through the narrative provided by the main character. The pace never falters as the story of this young woman's life unfolds. But best of all, the unanticipated conclusion is well executed.

True Southern Voice
I thoroughly enjoyed this story. It was in turns hilarious and heartbreaking with a resolution to the mystery that I did not foresee, but found believable. I loved the quirky but lovable family and recognized characters known from my own childhood. Another reviewer was concerned about the frank sexuality that was included, but I was not offended as I did not find it gratuitous. And thanks to the Gods of Alabama for the authentic southern voice of the reader. It was a sweet sound from my own youth. Highly recommended.
