Product Description
Taking the ground of McMurtry and McGuane, Joni Rodgers drives a fresh and dangerous road through Montana 1979. Meet Tulsa Bitters--19, fresh off the train, alone. Rubenesque and six feet tall, Tulsa is never quite comfortable with herself until she lands a job as a late night DJ in Helena, something unprecedented for women then. Able to be heard but not seen, she discovers a voice and style that are new, and exhilarating. With her witty delivery and rock 'n' roll soul, Tulsa attracts every man in town, but there's only one she hopes is listening. Explosive, funny, fresh--Crazy for Trying tackles tough issues with humor and unflinching honesty, a combination that makes for an original story, and a rollicking good read.
Amazon.com Review
A wonderful first novel, Crazy for Trying follows the adventures of Tulsa Bitters, who takes a midnight radio announcer job in Montana, leaving behind a disastrous love affair and a dysfunctional family life. But love isn't through with spunky, chunky Tulsa. It comes through in the charismatic form of a crusty rancher named Mac, whose romantic expectations are not particularly traditional. If you like a happy ending for a courageous and lovable character, Tulsa's story will fill your heart.
