Product Description
Caney Paxton wanted his cafe to have the biggest and brightest sign in Eastern Oklahoma - the "opening soon" part was supposed to be just a removable, painted notice. But a fateful misunderstanding gave Caney the flashiest joke in the entire state. Twelve years later, the once-busy highway is dead, the joke is old, and the sign is as worn as Caney, who hasn't ventured outside the diner since it opened. Then on a blustery December day, a 30ish Crow woman blows in with a half-dead three-legged dog in her arms and a long-buried secret on her mind. Hiring on as a carhop, Vena Takes Horse is soon shaking up business, the locals, and Caney's heart...as she teaches them all about generosity of spirit, love, and the possibility of promise - just like the sign says.

Having read 'Where the heart is ' I was keen to read other works by Bille Letts. This as I have discovered can some times be a let down especially when you have enjoyed the first book so much. However I am pleased to say that this time it was shear delight . Another beautiful book filled with wonderful characters whose lives you soon become engrossed in. I particularly liked the detailed showed to the characters who although not a major part of the story where made to fit perfectly and added to the overall novel . Although Where the heart is remains my favorite I would recommed this as a close second . Looking forward to the next novel.

This is exactlythe type of book I love to read. Books about nothing, Nothing in particular. No deep mushy love stories, no great mysteries. You'll laugh out loud. I can't wait for her next book. TWO thumbs up!

I really enjoyed "The Honk and Holler". I was pleasently surprised to find that I like this book better than "Where the Heart Is." The characters were very likeable and you really fell into their lives in their small town. You can identify with at least one character and match the others up with people in your town. This book is not intensely thought provoking nor too serious and drawn out. It wasn't intended to be a book that leaves you questioning the story and feeling depressed. So,if you are looking for a relaxing, easy going, and very entertaining book, this is it!! I love Billie Letts' style and look forward to the next book.
