From the Publisher:
I first read Crazy in Alabama when I was buying books for audio, and I thought it was one of the most entertaining, witty, imaginative novels I've ever read. The main character Lucille is a true original--and yes, she does remind one of that other famous Lucille-- Lucille Ball. As a matter of fact, Lucille
Ball is a character in the book. This is a little bit Thelma and Louise (but in a kinder, sweeter way), a llittle bit Eudora Welty and Flannery O'Connor meet Truman Capote. I can't wait to see the movie!
--Maureen O'Neal

Meet Peter Joseph, aka Peejoe, a wide-eyed believer in the unbelievable, raised by his Meemaw in Pigeon Creek for a good part of his life. But it was his aunt Lucille who raised him for the better. And it all happened during that summer everyone was driven crazy in Alabama, with Lucille at the wheel.
It's 1965, and no force on earth can come between Hollywood and Lucille Vinson, Alabama's answer to Veronica Lake. (Just ask her.) Even if it means killing her husband, stealing a Cadillac, hijacking her nephew, and catching a few hours of sleep at eight-dollar motels. But how do you become a movie star when you're on the run for murder? Lucille's got a plan. Not to mention a tank full of gas, a hopped-up sense of liberty, and her number one fan, Peejoe, by her side. It was a darn good week for Lucille. But for Peejoe, it would be the journey of a lifetime. . . .
