I ordered this book only to discover I had read it. Anything by Billie Letts of the Hoot n Holler Cafe fame is down home, Fannie Flagg and John Steinbeck material. The story line follows 17yo Novalee Nation who finds herself stranded by her boyfriend, pregnant, almost penniless,in a Wal Mart in Sequoyah, Oklahoma.How she overcomes this dillema, who helps her and why becomes the fabric of an unforgettable tale. This was an Oprah choice. It is similar to the kind of stories she champions. You're bound to like it.
