It's also the summer that Grace's mother and sisters join forces with Grace to help her dump Dwayne, her abusive husband, whom her sister describes as meaner than a rattlesnake and dumber than adobe.Besides her Hispanic family, a rich list of characters also assist her escape, including: Sako, an American-born Japanese neighbor whose former home was the internment camp at Poston, Arizona; two gay dance instructors; a Negro gospel singer who sells Lip-Smackin' Barbecue out of the trunk of her new orange Cadillac convertible; and Rudolf, her older sister's husband who's a colonel in the Army. A Three-Turtle Summer was a first place fiction winner in the 2002 Bold Media Awards.
