Description
Growing up in Warner Robins, Georgia, with her parents--and their loving but rocky relationship--isn't always easy for Lauretta. It doesn't help that the rest of her family is a who's who list of misfits and petty criminals. Learning from them and their experiences, Lauretta develops a keen wit and an observant eye, talents she then takes on the road to Savannah and even to Europe. There she encounters even more oddballs and colorful characters--many of whom are profiled here.

RUN to get this book! I loved it. The author gives a humorous tale of life, lessons and having had real problems and trials in her life, came out with a sense of humor. I laughed out loud several times and turned down more pages than I can tell you
