It’s April 15 when T.J. Marino’s gambling woes lands her in debt to the IRS. She heads home from New Orleans to Tallula, Louisiana in hopes of finding solace in her parents’ warm Italian embrace. Not to mention in a few borrowed dollars from them. Instead, she finds herself in the middle of the small town’s yearly tax revolt, while becoming romantically involved with three unlikely suitors— one who is an old friend, another an undercover FBI agent and a third one, who is the grandson of Louisiana’s ‘retired’ Godfather. One year later, after a terrifying trip to the local ‘loony bin’ as well as a disastrous sea cruise and an unexpected, but thrilling loss of virginity, T.J. approaches April 15 with a sense that her life has finally calmed down. Until her wedding day. The people of Tallula are all there to witness the mayhem. L.L. Lee’s first book, How to Survive Menopause Without Going Crazy, was published in 1998. Taxing Tallulah is her first novel. She is currently writing another humorous novel that also involves her native Louisiana. Ms. Lee is a registered nurse with degrees in psychology & English.
