Description
Eighteen-year-old Jerry Payne first meets Pookie Adams at the Friarsburg, Oklahoma, bus depot and is overwhelmed by her zany, rambling monologue. Over the next two years, Pookie teaches Jerry to grow beyond his beer-blasted, fraternity mentality and to open his heart to her, until she disappears from his life as rapidly as she entered it.
