A B.R.A.G. Medallion Honoree. One klutsy girl + Several neurotic fears= Lots of dilemmas in this hilarious debut novel by Victoria L. Thurman. Partially based on the author's real life, twenty-four year old Delilah Dunnfield (but please call her Deli- yes like the sandwich shop- especially if you are one sharing an intimate moment with her) was always taught that "all the good ones are gone by the time you reach twenty-five." She has eight months. Will she sell herself short or will she walk away from a lifelong ideal? Victoria L. Thurman was born in Austin, Texas to a mother from New England and a father from the South. She grew up in Americus, Georgia in a bustling, creative household with four siblings. She graduated from Valdosta State College with a Bachelors of Fine Arts. She and her cat, Mr. Bell, live in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
