Where the Heart Is by Billie Letts

That's Where the Heart Is. Don't you feel it going BUMP BUMP BUMP? Novalee asks. I don't feel anything! replies Willy Jack. Willy Jack is mean, and ruthless. But Novalee loves him.... Right?

Novalee Nation has bad luck with the number 7. She's 7 months pregnant, 37 pounds overweight, her mother left her when she was 7 and has only $7.77 in her pocket, on her way to California with her boyfriend, Willy Jack.

Willy Jack has a very short temper, and ends up leaving her at Wal-mart in Sequoyah, Oklaoma. There, she meets Forney Hull, the librarian's brother, Sister Husband, a spunky old woman who takes her in as her own, Moses Whitecotton, a smart african-american photographer whom inspires her, and Benny Goodluck, a skinny native-american tree serviceman's son. Novalee ends up staying in Oklahoma while Willy Jack makes out with some girl without front teeth, gets put in jail, and lands a record deal. Does Novalee and her daughter Americus go back to Willy Jack?

I really liked this book. The book was interesting and funny. I would reccomend this to anyone, except for people who aren't funny. I'd rate it 5/5. I chose this book because, Nikki told me that it as disturbing so i had to read it. And well Walmart is in it and Walmart is a very popular store. Then when you hear about someone giving birth in Walmart... You have to read it.
