Jolene's family was just Momma and Grandpa until big, loud Leroy
Redfield started taking Momma dancing. Jolene refuses to call him
anything but "Mister." Without a name, he isn't a real person to her.
But then Jolene learns that Mister wants to marry Momma. Is there
anything Jolene can do to make him go away?
"The warmth and love in the Johnson household envelops the novel...
Jolene's willingness to face the uncertainties of her future may well
give courage to readers confronting sea changes of their
own."-Publishers Weekly
