This is a short story about an incident that occurred in a family that will never be forgotten. It is told by a thirteen-year-old girl living in a double-wide trailer home who is desperately  trying to shed her red-neck image. Since she may be biased in what she recalls, her father adds his perspective at the end of the story. Thus the title, Tar Mama A Dad's Disclaimer Story.The author has a knack for telling a story and this one keeps you interested from start to finish. The humor sneaks in when you least expect it without slapping you in the face. It is a fun read and I was surprised I began to like the characters so quickly and wanted to know more about them. The girl, her mother and her father are the main characters and I would have liked to have names for them. The only names we know are Mole, the girl's nine-year old brother and Rachelle, the girls basketball team mate. Others are referred to by toddler, elderly lady at RV park, etc.The story is well written and fun to read.---------------------------------------------------------Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from the author.
