Once upon a time in a tiny, cozy town called Elmwood Springs, there lived a little charming girl whom everyone called Little One. But one day, Little One had to leave the town in a hurry with her mother, and the reasons for their escape never became clear. Nearly thirty years later, the beauty and clever Den makes a rapid career in television—just a little more, and she will become the face of all American TV. But behind the glittering career and deafening success lies the same frightened girl, nicknamed Little One, and tragic secrets from the past still won’t let her go.
The novel “Welcome to the World, Little One” is the best-known and most beloved book by Fannie Flagg’s readers. The success of this novel even surpassed that of the famous “Fried Green Tomatoes.” In America it was named the best book of the year, and it was precisely this novel “Welcome to the World, Little One!” that strengthened Fannie Flagg’s reputation as a continuator of the traditions of classic American literature.
Something happened many years ago, when the rising star of the television airwaves—Den—was still a little girl with the nickname “Little One.” But this mysterious story is hidden and forgotten by everyone who took part in it, painfully growing in Den’s subconscious. She will have a long way back—to herself, to the real one, who remained a frightened child with whom something irreparable happened.
A touching and thrilling story from the world-famous author of “Fried Green Tomatoes.”
