This book totally drew me in to the fate of Fay. Unbelievably inexperienced in life and in many ways clueless but nevertheless I couldn't help being hopeful for her future. Seventeen and walking away from an a family where no one was there for her and her father was moving in on her in ways she knew to be wrong she strikes off on her own heading for Biloxi and a better life. Many false starts and disappointments down the long road and Fay is learning about life and not from the best teachers. An intense read. Much more sensual than my usual taste but not offensive as that was what the lessons were all about. Life and men and men and life.
