If she did, however, then Brown couldn’t weave the vivid story that he has, though admittedly, its colors are on the dark side: an illegitimate pregnancy, child abuse, alcoholism, four murders.
Fay hurtles through her life, following the course of events and circumstances rather than planning and making goals. As her saga unfolds along Mississippi Highway 5, hopes keep rising that this time she’ll put a bit of common sense together with the bits of luck she stumbles upon to rise above her world of strip clubs, drug deals and crimes of passion.

She makes rash decisions and runs from the consequences. Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill ( Mar 31, 2000)įay Jones is not a typical heroine.
