Bobbie Faye's day began very badly when her trailer lurched
on its side and filled with water from a broken pipe. She
does not need this grief on today of all days -- the social
worker is due to evaluate her capability as a foster parent
for her niece. While contending with the flooded trailer,
Bobbie Faye receives a phone call from a criminal who's
kidnapped her brother. He demands the only valuable item
her family owns -- her Contraband Queen tiara that has no
real value except sentimental. When Bobbie Faye runs to the
bank to extract it from her lock box, she becomes involved
in a bank heist. The bank robbers steal the money -- and her
tiara! -- leading Bobbie Faye to chase after them.
From there on, Bobbie Faye's day becomes a disaster in
progress. On the run, she uses all the skills she's learned
from being self-sufficient, since her family is a bunch of
undependable losers (but she loves them anyway). She's
proficient with guns, can hot wire boats and talk her way
out of every imaginable trouble. Along the way to recover
her tiara, Bobbie Faye revisits and involves ex-boyfriends
(which includes criminals and a cop), leading them all on a
merry chase through the Louisiana swamp.
Ms. Causey has created in Bobbie Faye a funny and endearing
character who will capture readers' hearts with her
strengths and vulnerabilities. Action-packed with zany one-
liners, BOBBIE FAYE'S VERY (very, very, very) BAD DAY is a
winner that goes on the keeper shelf.
Bobbie Faye Sumrall knows that a day without disaster is a
day in someone else's life. Criminals have kidnapped her
good-for-nothing brother and are demanding her Contraband
Queen tiara--the only thing of her mama's she inherited--as
random. So Bobbie Faye has to outwit the police, organized
crime, former boyfriends, and a hostage she never intended
to take (but who turns out to be damn sexy!), in order to
rescue her brother, keep custody of her niece, and get back
in time to take her place as Queen in the Lake Charles
Contraband Festival (think Mardi Gras, with more drinking
and pirates).
Luckily, Bobbie Faye knows how to handle guns, outsmart
angry mama bears, drive a speedboat, and get herself out of-
-and into--almost every kind of trouble. If only that pesky
state police detective (who also happens to be a pissed-off
ex-boyfriend) would stay out of her way . . .
