Gor'ko!: Mississippi Mud and Moscow Madness

I love underdogs- those captivating people who seem to fall into arduous circumstances, usually as the result of someone else's devilment. They win our hearts through humility, and have us cheering out loud as they overcome adversity. Gor'ko! gives one young underdog center stage.Fancy Jeanette Parker is like most pre- teenage girls until she is attacked by her mother's ex-boyfriend. The attack leads to some major Mississippi justice; a drop - jaw husband from Russia and three charming triplets named, April, Mae and June.The book is staged in Mississippi, Nevada, Russia and Missouri. Gor'ko! is a coming of age story with a sprinkle of evil, romance, love and murder.
