Synopsis
Oswald T. Campbell is only 52, but his emphysema is so bad that he's given a year to live. Lonely and short of cash, Oswald heads south from Chicago, ending up in Lost River, Alabama, and hoping to live long enough to celebrate Christmas in a warmer climate. There he finds not only friends but romance as he becomes involved in the life of a heartwarming hamlet that Fannie Flagg says is based on her own home town of Birmingham, Alabama. The redbird of the title refers to the brilliantly colored cardinal, a sort of town mascot, who becomes a symbol of hope for Oswald and the townsfolk.
