Description: "When she finds out her husband Vernon has emptied their bank account and is fooling around with the local librarian, 45-year-old Wilma Hemshoff of East Texas hits the road as a truck driver. Escape looks possible from the cab of the 18-wheel rig she's driving, even though she's not exactly traveling light. Since Wilma has a soft spot for refugees like herself, she picks up Oralee, a smart-mouthed, teenage hooker toting a baby girl, and then starts making northern runs with a load of illegal aliens tucked alongside her legitimate freight of household goods"--Amazon.com.
