It's nothing but a jumble of unpainted shotgun shacks squatting at the end of a muddy, rutted road. To Pertrisha \"Pert\" Lexie, that road is like a sign, a warning that there's no welcome for outsiders who might venture into Lexieville, and little chance of her getting out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePert's mother, Truly, had dreams once upon a time, but now they're worn threadbare as a hand-me-down quilt. Pert's brother, Jobe, a high-school dropout, appears to be trapped in Lexieville, too. Only Pert is still determined to shake the dust of Lexieville off her feet and put on a new life like a bright, fresh coat of paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith only a few self-defense classes, an occasional helping hand from a county welfare worker, and her own fierce dreams to aid her, Pert fights to overcome the suffocating fatalism of generations and to fend off the violent advances of a bitter uncle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sharon Darrow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/19\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780998687810\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.45d","brand":"Sharon Darrow","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52774097453237,"sku":"9780998687810","price":12.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-painters-of-lexieville-9780998687810","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
