Yet another great "Flagg" book, WELCOME is right up there with the greats: Flagg's "Fried Green Tomatoes" or McCrae's "The Children's Corner. The character Dena Nordstrom, is America's most popular newscaster who is in love with her job and very ambitious. On the other hand, she has issues to deal with in her personal life, loves the bottle too much, and one day she has a serious breakdown. Her psychiatrist, Gerry O'Malley falls in love with Dena, and therefore turns her case over to Dr. Diggers, who forces Dena to take a look at her mysterious past. Dena lost her mother many years ago, without ever really knowing what happened to her.
