Vera Waltham was angry. She was trying to get her life back on track after a bitter divorce, and was waiting for a copy of the restraining order she had placed on her soon-to-be-ex-husband. She suspected he had slashed her truck tire, and it was almost time to pick up her eight-year-old daughter, Twyla, from the bus stop. Getting no help from the emergency roadside service, Vera located the owner’s manual and began studying it in hope of changing the tire herself. Read More »

Bobbie Faye is not just having a bad day. She is having a very, very, very, very, very bad day. She wakes up to find her washing machine leaking and desperately tries to turn off the water, but only makes the leak a gushing torrent. While trying to deal with her 5 year old niece who is rafting down the halls, she realizes that her cute glow-in-the-dark PJs are completely transparent when wet, so she locates the only clothing that seems to have escaped the flood and dons her “Shuck Me Suck Me Eat Me Raw” t-shirt and very tight jeans.

After trying unsuccessfully to get help from the local utilities company (the receptionist hates her) and her brother (who is not answering his phone), she abandons the trailer when it starts making ominous creaking sounds and the floor seems to be bowing in the center. She finds out her brother has been kidnapped and it is up to her to save him. Her trailer collapses and she has to enlist the help of a friend to stand guard over her belongings so that the neighbors, who are taking bets on the extent of the disaster, do not rob her blind. After dropping her niece at kindergarten, she heads for the bank to pick up the object that the kidnappers are demanding and gets caught in the middle of a bank robbery that the local media and police announce she is involved in.

In the midst of all this drama (and believe you me, this is only the beginning folks), her boss CeCe gathers half the town in her shop to form a crystal matrix, and when things look even worse for Bobbie Faye, CeCe starts mixing up voodoo protection spells. The “even worse” involves a very sexy mystery man who may or may not be up to no good, Bobbie Faye’s ex-boyfriend who is the detective assigned to the case, another ex-boyfriend who is a local gun runner, a mob hitman with an avid interest in interior decorating, and an assorted cast of characters who all love Bobbie Faye but know to stay far away from her if they want to survive.

Toni McGee Causey has created a character who is a true magnet for misfortune. Especially humorous are the quotes from local politicians, teachers, and even Federal agency employees (just to name a few) that begin each chapter. Bobbie Faye will keep readers frantically turning the pages to discover how she gets through various disasters, each more spectacular than the last. A word of caution: Read this book in the privacy of your own home unless you want to elicit more than your share of curious glances from the people around you. It is laugh out loud funny with a capital L!
