Billy the Bomber by Mary Sue Price

Fantasy, longing, ambition and love, not to mention shake and bake meth, all collide in a messy rent house in small-town Oklahoma when three people plus one fantasy championship wrestler -- all vulnerable, all trapped in different ways -- go after their own versions of the American dream.

    “ A gorgeous story of friendship and the pursuit of the American dream. With the highs, the lows and the disappointments the most beautiful thing is how these characters believe in and save each other. A valuable lesson in the strength of community and love. Well done. ”
