Jesus, Mo and Cheese Puffs

Flo's deformed eye doesn't bother her a bit. Nope. Never mind the eye patch or her aversion to mirrors. But when she wins $40,000 in the lottery, she and Mo take off to get one of those "TV doctors" to fix her bad eye. It's a long way from Indiana to California, so they, pack along some extra bags of cheese puffs for the ride. Funny thing about life, it doesn't always follow a plan. Flo and Mo, primed for an adventure, get sidetracked at every turn. For one, there's the young family with the broken-down car they stop to help only hours into the trip. Turns out there's more to the young family than either of them could ever imagine. On to Hooker, Oklahoma, where they stumble into a wake for the town hero-High Henry, a Clydesdale horse, who shows the town it's not the package but the heart inside that matters. At a farmer's market in Pasadena, Jostlin' Jack and Angel-a happy if homeless couple, suggest Flo "wear the world like a loose garment." Angel's words come back to haunt when the plastic surgeon wants to rework Flo's whole face and make her into something she's not. Realizing at last the only limitations in life are the ones she puts on herself, Flo opens her heart to the possibilities. Jesus, Mo and Cheese Puffs is the kind of story that asks you to look and find the magic in every single encounter.
