The novel Miss Allen knead
AS TOLD TO BC PIRES
My name is Lisa Allen-Agostini and my novel The Bread the Devil Knead was published last week.
I come from straight outta Morvant, no crossover. I lived in my mother s house overlooking the traffic lights at Morvant Junction from age two until my mid-20s.
I live now in Backayard, a village in the rainforest high up Simeon Road, Petit Valley. We live downstairs my husband Brian McMeo s parents house.
My mom, Dolsie, was a widow with seven children.
My father had two before he had my brother Dennis and me with Dolsie. It wasn t the Brady Bunch, though.
