About this ebook
Girl Trouble, a Harper Perennial paperback original, is Rona Jaffe Award winner Holly Goddard Jones’s debut short story collection, set around small-town Southerners caught in moral and sometimes mortal quandaries. Written with extraordinary empathy and maturity, and with the breadth and complexity of a novel, these eight beautifully written, achingly poignant, and occasionally heartbreaking stories explore the fine line between right and wrong, good and bad, love and violence.

Poignant, powerful, and captivating. As a person born and raised who later fled Russellville, KY this book hits incredibly close to home and I couldn't go more than a couple of pages without relating to something directly, knowing people who lived very similar experiences, or recognizing the referenced landmarks. I simply could not put it down. Check this book out, you won't regret it!
