If the South were to appoint a mystic-in-residence, Nashville author River Jordan would be a likely contender. In “The Wonder Boy of Whistle Stop,” Flagg fans will celebrate her return to the iconic fictional Alabama town, and she’ll gain legions of others who will treasure this charming and inspiring tale. Bud returns for one final trip and discovers surprises about his Aunt Idgie and other residents of the town, which help to change his future and the future of his daughter. Bud Threadgoode grew up in Whistle Stop when it was a bustling railroad burg, but after he moved away, it turned into a neglected ghost town. Her latest release picks up where her 1987 novel “Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café” left off. What’s more Southern than fried green tomatoes? Why a new Fannie Flagg novel, of course.
