Summary
Buddy Jr. gets a letter from the FBI: his father's decapitated skull has been found near the old Threadgoode house and the Cafe where he grew up. Before he was born, his Aunt Idgie told everyone that Frank Bennett had been killed by a Brinks Truck, leaving the pregnant Ruth Jameson behind. Growing up, he heard whispers about his father disappearing. But neither his Mother nor his Aunt would tell him anything about the man. Twelve years ago, Frank Bennett's truck was found in the nearby river. Even after she was arrested, Buddy never thought Aunt Idgie actually could have been involved in his father's death. He agreed with the Judge, Frank Bennett probably got drunk and drown himself. But his father had been murdered. When he thinks about it, didn't that whole "Dill Pickle Gang" pride themselves on their ability to lie? How many adventures with his Aunt ended with him promising not to tell his mother? Did the woman who helped raise him ever tell the truth? Someone in Whistle Stop, someone he probably knew, had killed his father. Was Idgie a murderer as well as a liar?

Summary
Ruth's been back for about three weeks now. But she's not come home yet. Maybe not ever in her whole life.
The closest she's felt to home was back on that bank, hardly more than a child, lips pressed to Idgies wet cheek.
Now here the wild child, grown crazy woman, is sprawled out across her older sisters bed, Ruth's bed now. Yammering about some Cafe idea her father's had.
It sounds an awful lot like Idgie intends to play the part of husband in her life and Ruth, greedy Ruth, well she's never had the sense to correct Idgies behavour when it's benefiting her.
Not when homes a hands span away.

Summary
Idgie sucked in a breath. Ruth grabbed her wrist and pulled her close. She clasped Idgie’s face between her hands and Idgie found herself close enough to see tiny flecks of olive in Ruth’s beautiful irises.
“I’m sorry I ever left,” said Ruth.
Idgie shook her head between Ruth’s hands.
“I made peace with that already,” she said softly. “I’m not mad at you, Ruth.”

Summary
“Why don’t you just sleep like that?” she suggested, biting her lower lip and looking at Ruth with nothing but desire. Ruth felt her heart flutter. But she shooed Idgie away.
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled,” Ruth quoted as she picked up the shirt again. Idgie rolled her eyes and collapsed on her back, defeated.
“It’s a little late for scripture. Especially in our bed.”

I just rewatched this on blu ray and finished the novel (finally) and I'm a hot mess so I needed writing therapy. Enjoy!

Summary
'My son will grow up with a name he can be proud to bear,' Ruth said. 'He has no right to the name Jamison – as you have pointed out,' she continued, 'and while there remains breath in my body he will not be subjected to the indignity of the name of Bennett.'
