My cheapest book

Today, I just finished one of the books that I read. This book entitled as "The honk and holler opening soon' which was written by Billie Letts. I bought this book in a secondhand store and it costs $0.23. The book was really old because it was published last 1998 with worn out pages. Actually, it was my cheapest book. Hahahahah. It was not the price that entice me to buy but the phrase "#1 New York Times Bestselling of WHERE THE HEART IS". My friend told me that if there was a phrase like that in a book or CD, it was surely a good one.

Moreover, the book taught me the realities in life. Caney Paxton was a Vietnam vet and the owner of the Honk and Holler, accepted many employees in his restaurant with unknown background like Vena an Indian while Bhui, a Vietnamese. He also accepted his foster parent Molly who portrayed a loving mother despite her daughter mistakes such as aborting her granddaughter and stealing her savings. But what bewitch me on this book was how Bhui struggled to adapt in a country with different culture, language and religion.

When I look back to the day that I bought the book, I never thought that a disgusting book could teach me a lesson.
