Velva Jean Learns to Drive: A Novel by Jenna Lamia, Jennifer Niven

3.0

I listened to this in audio because Jenna Lamia (The Invention of Wings) narrated it. She gives another stellar narration, and elevated this story. Velva Jean Learns to Drive dragged for me and it took a great length of time before Velva Jean does learn to drive and for her to achieve her dreams about making music and playing at the Grand Old Opry. A good hardscrabble southern story, but perhaps a little too long for my liking.
