Surviving Doodahville by Ashley Fontainne (15 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

"Filled with powerful scenes and great characters! Brings the '83 Old South to vivid life. One of my all-time favorite reads! Loved it! ~ Janelle Taylor, NY Times Bestselling author "... full of surprises, twists, turns and none of them are predictable. This is a fun read with entertaining events that will have you laughing out loud and perhaps remembering your past. But the story's also a bit of history about racial injustice in the 1980's and a bit of gender bias with believable examples of unfair treatment set in the past, but still believable today. I recommend... to anyone who enjoys a laugh out loud book that can't be put down as well as one telling the story of cultural past scars." - Gail Kamer for Readers' Favorite "More than just a coming-of-age story or new adult romance, Surviving Doodahville explores family bonds, racial barriers, and just how much some are willing to sacrifice for others. The tale is full of humor, action and a touch of mystery, making it a fun romp ...
