Celestine Sibley: A Granddaughter's Reminiscence

When Celestine Sibley died in August 1999, hundreds of thousands of her fans mourned for weeks and the Atlanta Journal -- Constitution celebrated her life with daily coverage and a special 24-page supplement of which over 1.5 million copies were published. There is no one more perfect to encapsulate the life and memory of the deeply loved novelist, memoirist, and widely syndicated columnist, Celestine Sibley, than her granddaughter. Celestine Sibley wrote extensively about her granddaughter over the years -- and vice-versa -- and they shared a very close bond. Featuring Fleming's memories about her grandmother in terms of her life both as a public figure and family matriarch together with tales from her grandmother's garden and kitchen and a collection of family photographs, this is a much-needed final word on her life.
