All Bluffton Icon News

Review by Robert McCool

"The Plot" (ISBN 978-1250790767) is all about the extenuating circumstances of birth.

Jean Hanff Korelitz's ("The Devil and Webster") new novel is a book within a book. It is all about how mothers and daughters come to reckon with each other when the girl grows up and wants to leave the parent's home. It is all about the circumstances around babies not wished to be born. It's a scathing examination of a mother's, and daughter's, needs in life and how to get them.

After a summer rain, a full rainbow was on display last evening in the area.

We would like to thank our customers, suppliers, and road crews for their dedication and support of our business while our main entrance has been shut down. We praise the Lord for the support from all.

The new alley is a blessing and will benefit our business for years to come.
