Helpful Score: 1
The interesting tale of the life of Bonita Faye, a feisty down-to-earth woman from Poteau, OK. First published in 1997, this fun read is just as timely now as it was then. The story is told from the perspective of Bonita Faye, a mere slip of a girl who has a tough start to her life. She's a child of poverty who marries young, to a mean-spirited man with no scruples. She kills the man in a fit of rage and so begins her new life - one she directs and controls - filled with wonderfully engaging people, colorful, fascinating places, and interesting stories.
This book would have made a good movie. It's a feel-good story, despite a number of really bad people in it, that ends well - like a dinner of delicious fried chicken with homemade apple pie for dessert. It was a nice break from my usual serial-killer fare (or was it?). Read it and find out for yourself! : )
