Description
In 1950s Fort Worth, Juanita Hutchins spends her days tending bar and her nights pursuing a dream of becoming a country-western singer and songwriter. When her original song, “Baja Oklahoma,” offers a possible path to Nashville, she must navigate ambition, romance, hard luck, and the colorful characters surrounding the Texas music scene. Blending sharp humor with affection for its larger-than-life performers, the novel explores the tensions between aspiration and reality, small-town loyalty and the lure of fame. Its lively voice and distinctly Texas perspective reflect Dan Jenkins’s talent for comic storytelling and memorable, irreverent characters.
