The Honk and Holler Opening Soon
The Honk and Holler Opening Soon | Billie Letts
7 posts | 23 read | 9 to read
Caney Paxton wanted his cafe to have the biggest and brightest sign in Eastern Oklahoma-the "opening soon" part was supposed to be just a removable, painted notice. But a fateful misunderstanding gave Vietnam vet Caney the flashiest joke in the entire state. Twelve years later, the once-busy highway is dead and the sign is as worn as Caney, who hasn't ventured outside the diner since it opened. Then one blustery December day, a thirtyish Crow woman blows in with a three-legged dog in her arms and a long-buried secret on her mind. Hiring on as a carhop, Vena Takes Horse is soon shaking up business, the locals, and Caney's heart...as she teaches them all about generosity of spirit, love, and the possibility of promise-just like the sign says.

Clare-Dragonfly I just read Auntie Mame for a regular book club and I must say it sounds like an even better choice for LMPBC! 12mo

I made all my March recaps/April lists at the same time, and then planned to post one a day so as not to blow up your feeds. But then I forgot…so…💥

I always enjoy books by Billie Letts. She wrote of making family with whoever you are with.

So, bye bye, Miss #AmericanPie
Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry...

Ok, it's a big stretch but I love all the the books by Billie Letts.

I really liked first half of this book. I love southern Americana writing and my favorites (of course) are The Help and Fried Green Tomatoes. But the second part of this book bored me. The ending was predictable and some ends hand loosed. I still in search of good South book. Please help🙏🏻
