Crazy in Alabama by Mark Childress

3.0

3.5 STARS

"CRAZY IN ALABAMA is the story of two journeys--Lucille's from Industry, Alabama, to Los Angeles, to star on 'THE BEVERLY HILL BILLIES' and her 12-year-old nephew Peejoe's, who is about to discover two kinds of Southern justice, and what that means about the stories he's heard and the people he knows." (From Amazon)

A great funny coming of age story set in the south. A young boy living with his grandmother falls in love with his crazy aunt's life. She writes to him about her adventure in Hollywood. It is set in the 60s and racism is a focus through the local pool being segregated.
