Local author Susan Gregg Gilmore's Looking For Salvation at the Dairy Queen--the tale of a sharp-tongued, sassy preacher's daughter who yearns to leave her small-town life--is the kind of comforting, all-consuming book that escapist readers devour in one sitting. The book follows Catherine Grace Cline from Riggold, Ga., to the big city of Atlanta in search of her dream to be something more. Cline spends her whole life trying to distance herself from Riggold, but not until she is far away does she realize that the town, with its one stoplight, single diner and trailer disguised as a post office, has actually become a part of her and that it, and not the city, will always be her home.
