Description:
In Oklahoma, where Kraft Macaroni & Cheese is a staple and Bob Barker is king, Darla Moon struggles to break free and pursue her dreams. A talented seamstress/designer, she is cursed with a semi-retired hooker for a mother, a hypochondriac for a sister, a no-good loafer for a brother-in-law, a frog-collecting grandmother, and Momma's British lesbian friends who are "Clairvoyants and Tea Leaf Readers Extraordinaire". To make matters worse, she lives a spitting distance from Lamb of God Pentecostal Church and Big Bucks Bingo -- a world away from where she wants to be in New York City. But Darla is blessed with the devotion of Elijah True, the elderly black man who has nurtured her through her childhood, and the unexpected love of the Reverend Spirit E. Jackson, an itinerant preacher who sweeps her off her feet. When Darla formulates a plan to escape, family once more stands between her and her suitcase and Darla must cast an unflinching eye on all the hard-to-accepts truths regarding love, responsibility, and survival.
