Title: Junebug
Description: "Junebug has been visiting her mother in Ellisville Reformatory for Women ever since she was five years-old, when beauty queen Theresa Host calmly stepped out of their trailer and committed the most notorious crime of the year. But during the summer of her daughters high school graduation - the summer of her first wildly passionate affair - Theresa reels in her wild child, and shatters her world, with a stunning confession." "Set in the outsized landscape of far western Nebraska, a nebulous region little known in contemporary fiction, and peopled by characters whose extreme individuality is exceeded only by their eccentricity Junebug is a novel with the intensity of the mother/daughter bond itself, with all its wildness, tragedy and depth."--BOOK JACKET.
