About this listen

A heartwarming story from the Great Depression

Queenie Peavy is the worst troublemaker at school and the best shot in Georgia - with her father in jail, why shouldn’t she be angry? But Queenie wonders what would happen if she tried to behave herself, just for one day.

I read this as a young girl almost 50 years ago and loved it. I wanted to read it again to see what the appeal was and to get a glimpse into my younger self. I realized that my love of Southern Fiction started way back. Also, Queenie was a "Shero" to me, and now I know that part of the reason is that she reminds me so much of my mother. It remains a favorite. The narration was okay. Many of the characters, including Queenie, didn't sound like I thought they should, but it wasn't necessarily wrong. The southern accent was believable and not overly done in a way to make caricatures or of the characters.
