Billie Letts wrote contemporary American fiction about families formed through chance, hardship and small-town community. Where the Heart Is follows seventeen-year-old Novalee Nation after her boyfriend abandons her at an Oklahoma Walmart while she is pregnant, leaving her to build a new life among people she meets in the town. The Honk and Holler Opening Soon centres on a roadside café and the employees and customers whose lives gradually become connected, while Shoot the Moon begins with a man returning to Oklahoma to investigate the circumstances of his adoption and mother's death. Letts's novels are accessible, warm and character-led, with community support and unconventional households central to the plot. They fit small-town fiction, women's fiction and family-centred contemporary novels. Read more Less
