Made in the USA - Audio CD - Unabridged Author: Luttie McFee's history has taught her to avoid attachments...to people, to places, and to almost everything. With her mother long dead and her father long gone to find his fortune in Las Vegas, 15-year-old Luttie lives in the god-forsaken town of Yankton, South Dakota with her nine-year-old brother, Fate, and Floy Satterfield, the 300-pound ... more »

I really LOVED the audiobook version of MADE IN THE U.S.A. I thought the narrator, Cassandra Morris did a phenomenal job of portraying the voices of Lutie Mcfee and her 11 year old brother Fate.
Lutie is a bristly 15 year old who appears to be an obnoxious, ungrateful brat through a lot of the story. Fate is her bookworm, awkward brother who has a heart of gold and the patience of a saint. They end up homeless in Las Vegas where Lutie struggles to find work so they can eat and have a place to sleep. But where is a 15 year old going to find a job?
I couldn't stop listening until it was over, and now I wish there was more. My original intention was to get the audiobook, listen to it and then donate it to our local library. I enjoyed the story so much I got another copy of the audiobook so I could keep one to listen to again.

A Wonderful, gritty, heart warming book.
Lutie and Fate escape Spearfish, SD after their father's guardian, Floy, drops dead at the local Wal-Mart. Both travel to Las Vegas in an attempt to locate their father (who's last letter to them was postmarked there). When they get there, they find out terrible news about their father. Lutie and Fate have to stay strong as they live on the streets. Fate finds odd jobs to make money but Lutie finds work at a local motel and Denny's. But the money they make can't get them into an apartment. Throughout their story, they have a "guardian angel" that leaves them notes and gifts on their car while in Las Vegas. After a horrible incident, he decides to make himself known to Lutie and Fate and take them to his home in Hugo, OK. What remains is a heartwarming tale.

Beware: Some of the incidents in Las Vegas are horrible and can be offensive to some readers. I, myself, found that they added to the story and depth of the characters.
