Saints & Sinners in Okay County
I did not finish this book – to me, it is a ‘downer’ altho not as bad as some.
Aletta is married to Jimmy, a man who can decide whether to be married and father to his 3 children, and one on the way, or not. She has psychic ability and when he has not been around for a few weeks, she put up a sign in her yard. Apparently he finally found out about it, came back ‘home’ and yanked the sign out. She had baby #4 just after they had had a big fight. Scared the kids. He has bottles stashed here and there. I read a page or two here and there and the whole books seems to be that way. I read the last two pages and she sends off a man who has loved her for years and worked on her car for free, Jimmy is about to go off again and the author leaves us hanging as to whether or not she is finally free of the jerk.
Not my kind of book and I even went 116 pages into it. I kept hoping she’s report him or something. He choked her and she told the doctor (this was the fight prior to her going into labor) that it was something else.Â
I’m going to start Moloka’i later on today.
