Once upon a time in the tiny cozy town of Elmwood Springs there lived a little charming girl, everyone called her Baby. But one day, Baby had to leave the town in a hurry—together with her mother—and the reasons for their escape remained unknown. Almost thirty years later, the beauty and smart Denna is making a rapid career on television; just a little more, and she would become the “female face” of all American TV. A brilliant career, a deafening success—but the tragic secrets of the past still won’t let the frightened girl called Baby be at peace. “Welcome to the world, Baby!” — Fannie Flagg’s most famous and most beloved novel among readers. Its success even surpassed the fame of the celebrated “Fried Green Tomatoes.” In America it was named the best book of the year, and it was this novel, “Welcome to the world, Baby!” that strengthened Fannie Flagg’s reputation as a successor to the traditions of classic American literature.
