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.
