The dream to become a superstar can sometimes take you into a whirlwind of adventures. The journey of Gertie McDowell, a 23-year-old small-town girl from Turkey roost, is bizarre yet funny. From being the “little miss twinkle toes” to the “Ping-Pong champion of Chinatown” Gertie gets absolutely candid narrating her story. The girl is credulous, and it propels her into insane situations all the time. I must say the author has a whimsical sense of humor and a strong composing of characters. With all the striking metaphors, witty questions on the bible, and subtle use of political satire, James Hanna makes the reader chortle throughout. Anyone who wants a hilarious read must grab this unforgettable story of Gretie McDowell.

This is a comical collection of stories that follows Gertie as she travels from Kentucky to LA and does everything she can to get away from her boring life back home. However, some adventures and opportunities are not what they seem and Gertie might feel disappointed more than once.
