The Sweet By and By: Five Women in a Nursing Home Find Friendship, Courage, and Humor in Life and Death – A Novel

“Gentle, sensitive...sometimes funny, occasionally sad, and ultimately life-affirming.”
—Winston-Salem Journal

The Sweet By and By is the story of five southern women of different ages and from very different backgrounds whose lives come together in a journey of courage, hope, and humor. First-time author Todd Johnson—who was a co-producer with Oprah Winfrey of Broadway’s The Color Purple—makes an indelible literary mark with a debut novel that bestselling author Adriana Trigiani (Very Valentine) calls, “heartfelt and stunning.” People magazine chose The Sweet By and By as one of its “Great Reads for Your Book Club,” saying, “Steel Magnolias fans will love this one.”
