What's harder? Life in Ma Sue's house where margaritas, cigarettes, and microwave meals reign or life on the road with a pool hustling dad and his ex-stripper girlfriend? Independence Angel Munson isn't sure, but she's willing to leave Ma Sue's and find out. She leaves the small town of Harmony, Montana for the open road. Her days become filled with pool hustling, magazine and romance novel reading, and boy meeting. Indy learns that in order to get by and make a life, there are some things she'll have to abandon. "I'm ready to leave his too long glances and the broken tiles of Hotel Bradenton behind." A huge thank you is owed to Chris Peterson, Elizabeth Conser, and Joe Lynch for cheering me on as I wrote this book. Gratitude is also owed to the Minnesota State Arts Board for their generous grant, which made this book possible.
