"This book is too good to keep to yourself. Read it aloud with someone you love, then send it to a friend. But be sure to keep a copy for yourself, because you'll want to read it again and again."
Elizabeth Forsythe Hailey Raney is a small-town Baptist. Charles is a liberal from Atlanta. And RANEY is the story of their marriage. Charming, wise, funny, and truthful, it is a novel for everyone to love.
"A real jewel."
RICHMOND TIMES-DISPATCH
This charming vignette follows the early days of the marriage of Raney, an inno cent, Southern Baptist, and Charles, who is considerably more liberal and so phisticated than Raney. The two must make many accommodations to one an other and regularly consult a marriage counselor. PW found that the author's ``ear for idiom is exact, the two central characters perceptibly developed and the other members of the small cast are giv en dimension and personality.'' (May)

Raney
At times wickedly funny, at times decidedly not, Raney is the story of the marriage of the titled young woman, a North Carolina Free Will Baptist, to Charles, a (former) Atlanta Methodist cum Episcopalian. Why do I include all these modifiers you may ask. Well, therein lies the story, and the humor, the mores of the 1970s, the story of young love and marriage.
We spend roughly two years with Raney and Charles and their extended families and various Preachers, local folk, debating the roles of wives and husbands, how much water should be used to cook string beans, sex, whose mama is right, what sex is right, liquor/wine in the home or anywhere, sex.
This is young marriage. this is two people who love each other but are also different in some basic ways. What we share in the novel is their struggle to learn each other and see if they can find their middle road.
I was sorry to see this book end.
