"It All Comes Back to You is one of those stories you need to savor. You want to put the book down so as to have more to read tomorrow, but you can't. It becomes attached to you, a part of you."
Dan Brown, Author of Reunion
Alabama, 1947.
War's over, cherry-print dresses, parking above the city lights, swing dancing.
Beautiful, seventeen-year-old Violet lives in a perfect world.
Everybody loves her.
In 2012, she's still beautiful, charming, and surrounded by admirers.
Veronica "Ronni" Johnson, licensed practical nurse and aspiring writer, meets the captivating Violet in the assisted living facility where Violet requires no assistance, just lots of male attention. When she dies, she leaves Ronni a very generous bequest―only if Ronni completes a book about her life within one year. As she's drawn into the world of young Violet, Ronni is mesmerized by life in a simpler time. It's an irresistible journey filled with revelations, some of them about men Ronni knew as octogenarians at Fairfield Springs.
Struggling, insecure, flailing at the keyboard, Ronni juggles her patients, a new boyfriend, and a Samsonite factory of emotional baggage as she tries to craft a manuscript before her deadline.
But then the secrets start to emerge, some of them in person. And they don't stop.
Everything changes.
Alternating chapters between Homecoming Queen Violet in 1947 and can't-quite-find-her-crown Ronni in the present, IT ALL COMES BACK TO YOU is Southern Fiction at its hilarious, warm, sad, outrageous, uplifting, and stunning best. In the tradition of Major Pettigrew's Last Stand and Olive Kitteridge, Duke delivers an unforgettable elderly character to treasure and a young heroine to steal your heart.

- I’m not good with words and have never given a review on a book before, but here goes.
I LOVED this book. I was interested in this book because it is about my home town and my high school. After reading the first chapter, I was hooked and could not put it down.
It was entertaining and had such a suspense to it that I just had to keep reading to find out what happened next.
I recommend this book to everyone who loves to read. It not only shows the happy things in life but shows what all families go through every day. Love and tragedy plus perseverance.
Even if you are not an avid reader, I think you will enjoy this book.

I highly recommend this clever tale of two women brought together by circumstance but bound by heart strings. - I found this book easy and enjoyable to read. Beth Duke did a wonderful job of introducing her characters and her storyline and grabs your interest right away. The relationship between Ronni and Violet was very heartfelt and truly believable. It made me wish that I knew them both in real life. Violet was quite the character with lots of charm, confidence and beauty and made you feel that everyone really did love her. I have close to one thousand books on my and put this book near the top of my most favorites. Highly recommend this book. Lois C.
- And what a wonderful book! Just finished it and loved it! Beth, you certainly know how to turn and twist, intrigue and surprise your readers! I hesitantly let my neighbor borrow it as it is one to read again and again! âââââ
- Only if Ronni finishes the book about Violets life will she get the money, so no mystery there.
The "fat" girl is a size 12! And like Violet at her age the most beautiful girl around.
I was looking for a feel good story but this is like eating refined sugar.
The characters are all too nice and basically have no personality.
I'm one third into the book and both stories are dragging and way too fairy tale. - Loved this book. It is easy to get swept up in the lives of the characters. I put off reading the book until I could have the time to really enjoy it. I read it in a day and a half because I couldn’t put it down. I highly recommend this book along with the other two written by Beth Duke
- If I could give this book more than 5 stars I would! It’s a must read! I laughed , I cried, I dreamed, and I believed! “It All Comes Back To You†is one of the most well written novels I’ve read in quite a while. I was mesmerized by Beth Duke’s ability to immediately lure the reader into the lives of her characters with such vivid imagery and charm. The very first page captivated my attention and kept it until the final sentence. I loved the southern charm which eminated throughout the story making the characters more believable and loved. The twists and turns, as well as the intertwining of the lives of the characters made this out to be a very exciting and enjoyable book. I would highly recommend this book and can’t wait to read Beth Duke’s next novel!
- I loved this book so much. I had a very hard time putting it down. I didn’t want it to end and find myself thinking about Ronni and Violet and how I miss these characters. I have lost both of my parents recently and have been reading mostly books on grief. I decided I needed to read a fun book that will take me out of my of my head and this book succeeded in doing that and I am grateful.
