Beskrivelse
An edgy, contemporary coming-of-age young adult novel with elements of adventure and romance. If you loved Dicey's Song by Cynthia Voight and Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry by Mildred D. Taylor growing up, but wish there was something in their veins written for older audiences, this is the book for you Poor Florida Cracker explores the effects of poverty-stricken southern living in the vein of Bastard Out of Carolina by Dorothy Allison, but set in modern times. When Sissy Collet and her siblings get their chance to break free of their neglectful parents and cruel small town, they take it. With nothing more than an old car and a half-cooked scheme, the four siblings take off without a set destination in the hopes of finding something better, all while navigating the bridges from child to teen, and teen to adult. Will Sissy and her siblings ever find a loving home and happily ever after of their own? Or is Sissy destined to never be anything more than Poor Florida Cracker?
