"There ain't no going back when your house is full
of somebody else's idea of happiness." |
|
Life in the small town of Beaumont, Texas is more complex than it would seem. Jude Farnie
has lived here all of her life with her mother, Grace, and grandmother, Nofia. It's all she's ever known ... and all she's ever wanted to get away from.
The only things that make Jude's existence bearable are her stacks of video tapes, a drawerful of self-help books, and her best friend, Riley Jefferson.
Jude has the unfortunate ability to see both sides of every coin, and therefore suffers from a terrible case of option-paralysis. Her desire to follow her dreams is often crushed by
forces she thinks are beyond her control. She finds herself asking, "What is it that make me happy, and who is in control of my life?"
Everyone around her seems to have it all figured out, which convinces Jude she has to search for her own "wooden watermelons." |
