Billie Letts is the author of The Honk and Holler Opening Soon and Where the Heart, an Oprah Book Club selection. Both are available from Brilliance Audio. She lives in Oklahoma where, until recently, she was a professor at Southeast Oklahoma University.
Billie Letts's award-winning first novel, Where the Heart Is, blew across the American literary landscape like a rush of fresh air. The moving story of a young pregnant girl abandoned at a small-town Wal-Mart, it resonated with original ideas, bright humor, and an inspiring message about human goodness.
A feel-good story, centered in America's heartland, where dreams can still come true and people still care enough about each other to give a leg up when it is needed. . . . A wonderful inspirational book that causes chuckles and tears.
