Book Review of Velva Jean Learns to Drive (Velva Jean, Bk 1)

Velva Jean Learns to Drive (Velva Jean, Bk 1)
Helpful Score: 1


A poignant coming of age story set in Appalachia. It gave me a better understandng of what life was like for the impoverished residents. The book covered it all from Indian vs white relations, the "hillybilly" set of mind, including religion, moon-shining, progress, music, loyalty and family pride. I enjoyed it and the characters were colorful and interesting, yet I was somewhat disappointed in it, got bored at times.
