Publisher's Synopsis
PARKED begins on a freezing night in December 1975, in a trailer park on the outskirts of the small, southern town of Randolph, where the life of six-year-old Teenie Outler is forever changed by her father in a rage-fueled moment. Left alone with Jubalee, her cold, resentful grandmother, Teenie searches for love in this touching, funny and true-to-life Coming of Age novel. Set in the South in the 1970's and 1980's, Teenie's teenage trailer park world is brimming with young love, sex, drugs and rock-n-roll. Teenie soon learns to do whatever it takes to get what she needs. Determined to find happiness, Teenie tries to replace the people who have abandoned her, taking what comfort she can from others while freely giving back what little she has to offer. Along the way, Teenie discovers the past can only define you if you let it, and sometimes it's not blood that makes us family- it's love. Its universal themes of family, friendship, betrayal and forgiveness and its vibrant and realistically flawed characters make certain PARKED will be a relevant and timeless favorite for years to come. PARKED is a #1 Amazon Bestseller with over 17,000 copies sold. Ebook and Audio Book versions also available.
