In rural Kentucky, a sixteen-year-old boy with a love of quilting, cooking and Dolly Parton helps his grandma care for his opioid-addicted mother, until the discovery of a family secret upends everything he has ever believed. While other sixteen-year-old boys in Morgan, Kentucky, love hunting and football, Kody prefers to spend his time quilting with his grandmother ("Nanny"), watching Golden Girls reruns, and listening to old Dolly Parton albums. Nanny is Kody's main caregiver, but it takes both Nanny and Kody to take care of Kody's mother, whose drug problem is spinning out of control. Between looking after Mommy and trying to survive in a place that doesn't look kindly on feminine boys, Kody already has a hard time making sense of his life. But then he uncovers a family secret that will change everything in his life.

Kody is a teenage boy, living with his grandmother in rural Kentucky helping to take care of his opioid addicted mother, who loves to quilt & is obsessed with Dolly Parton. When he discovers a long hidden family secret his already spinning world is turned sideways & he has to figure out what to do.

This book made me laugh & cry, I felt so much for Kody & all he had to deal with. I really enjoyed this book & would highly recommend!

16 year old Kody loves cooking, sewing and all things Dolly Parton but that is not acceptable in a religious, conservative, rural impoverished Kentucky town. With a drug addicted mother and father in prison, it appeared his cycle of poverty and struggles would be his fate. Cut to a secret from his mother's past who gives Kody the boost of confidence to realize his "truth" and break the cycle of dysfunction. A queer teen read of Hillybilly Elegy.
