Bastard Out Of Carolina

When I left on my trip I grabbed a couple of books off of Offspring #2's bookshelf (with permission). Since I am in the south I thought I would read Dorothy Allison's semi-autobiographical novel Bastard Out of Carolina. The story is narrated by Ruth Ann who is usually called by her nickname, Bone. I came to like Bone so much I was sad when I came to the last page. I enjoy coming of age books and this one was excellent.
