A laugh-out-loud romp across America pits a feisty Texas momma against the Hollywood machine
Ruby Kincaid is busy these days—running her late husband's bowling alley, wrangling her pistol of a sister, and chasing after the two grandchildren her daughter abandoned. When she sees her runaway daughter Violet starring in a TV commercial, there's only one choice and Ruby knows it—Hollywood or bust. Ruby packs a Winnebago with two friends, two unruly grandkids, and a mondo-size package of MoonPies and hightails it to California to fetch her wayward daughter. In a madcap road trip from the dusty flats of Texas to the glittering aisles of The Price Is Right, Ruby survives with a little pluck and some Texas spunk. Fans of Lorna Landvik and Billie Letts will love this tender and side-splittingly funny story of indomitable spirit and unstoppable force. BACKCOVER: Praise for Amy Wallen and MoonPies and Movie Stars:
"To read MoonPies and Movie Stars is to take a delightful and exhilarating journey, kind of like being on a tour bus guided by Eudora Welty on speed."
—Mary Gordon, author of Pearl
"With a pitch-perfect ear for comic dialogue and a fine sense of the absurd, Amy Wallen writes herself a place on the porch swing of great Southern writing."
—Janet Fitch, author of White Oleander

MoonPies and Movie Stars
I was super excited about this book. I now see why it was on the clearance shelf.
Every adult in this book besides Earl,Penny,and Warren are selfish. Let me start with Loralva. She acts like a bitch in heat and is only worried about the price is right. She did get on and won money and a car. Does she take the kids that are in the motel room the whole time to the beach or to disneyland? NO! I know it would have been a little off, but come on how many times is Imogene's mole talked about in this freakn book? I could have taken shots to it. I thought about going back and counting. Ruby being a good grandmother but while doing that was a doormat. There was no talk of the kids going back to their newly married father. She is the martyr that had to take care of his children. I was so annoyed with the ways she was looking for her daughter. I understand what year this is taking place but all I could think was well why not call the directory for information on her daughters name change. Honestly, I get how hot the price is right was then and how it still is but come on. Ruby is going on and on about the poor kids but doesnt take them anywhere to see anything in cal. WTF? WHAt A WASTE OF TIME!!!
