Spotlight Melissa DeCarlo

摘要

Sassy, slippery, and hardly ingratiating, Mattie is broke and pregnant when she shows up at the mobile home of her former stepfather, whom she calls Queeg. She's just left her boyfriend, and after the death of her mother-beautiful, careless, often hard-drinking Genie-Queeg is all she has. But Queeg explains that someone has been trying to reach her, and soon Mattie is steering her broken-down 1978 Chevy Malibu toward Gandy, OK, where the grandmother she never knew she had has died. Mattie just wants the promised inheritance, but instead she finds secrets to unwind and a sense of belonging. For despite Mattie's loneliness, despite all her mother had withheld, this is a novel about connections. Mattie just has to discover them.
