Crazy Red

By Kaley Craig

As a child, Margaret Rose knew the families she saw portrayed on television weren't real, but she came to believe they had to be more authentic than the cold, humorless home in which she was being raised by a mother who barely acknowledged her. But Margaret would come to miss those days, for as she transformed into a young woman, her mother changed as well, becoming an ill-tempered tyrant with a single-minded determination to preserve her daughter's virtue, and the family's good name, at any cost.Meeting Will at the neighborhood church (in whose tenets she holds little belief), changes everything, as the promise of Will's love finally puts into Maggie's reach the happiness she's longed for. But getting it won't be easy. Between dodging her mother's violent assaults, killer tornadoes, hungry fire ants, and Will being blackmailed into marching off to war, Maggie's got her hands full simply surviving. Or she thinks she has until a chance meeting with Edmond Jackson, an attractive, charming, and sadistic drug-trafficker who becomes obsessed with making this red-haired virgin his wife.Set in the late 1960's South, Maggie's melodramatic quest for love is absurd, sexy, profane, and darkly humorous. 126,608 words, 13 illustrations.Crazy Red is the first book in the Jackson Sugar series by Kaley Craig. Look for book two, Wanted Dead, in the fall of 2014.
