If you are not from Texas, the accent might gripe [i]or[/i] grip you back from getting into the volume However, it doesn't take you real long before you settle in to the accent. The opening pages are a alphabetic character written by Jody, the main character in the work Her full name is Sally Jo Walker, a 16-year-old newlywed who has been slapped single too many times by her husband, Bobby James Walker. The last name Walker is great symbolism for the brace He impatiently leaves her while she is in a gas station/convenience store bathroom, on the contrary she doesn't wait around for him and takes the nearest bus wherever it is going. The last stop is Jackson Beach, Florida, where Jody finds her self of steam. She naps in the movie house at night and works at Thelma's Cafe by means of day. Eventually she makes friends with the mentally challenged character Dooley and Effaline, a 15-year-old pregnant runaway. This is a coming of age sort of volume that captivated me.
