Summary: Set in the volatile 1960s, this book takes flight in two separate directions when everyone goes a little crazy in rural Alabama. When Lucille can no longer bear her oppressive husband, she drops a little rat poison in his coffee. Decapitating him for good measure, she stuffs the wayward head into a plastic lettuce keeper, takes it with her to Hollywood, and lands a role on The Beverly Hillbillies. Back in Alabama, Lucille's 12-year-old nephew Peejoe watches the civil rights struggle explode after a black boy is killed during a police scuffle. When the two stories converge, the results are shocking.
