The Bingo Queens of Paradise – June Park – SC

The Bingo Queens of Paradise

by June Park

In Oklahoma, where Kraft Macaroni & Cheese is a staple and Bob Barker is king, twenty-eight-year-old Darla Moon struggles to break free and pursue her dreams. A talented seamstress and designer, she is cursed with a semi-retired hooker for a mother, a hypochondriac for a sister, a no-good loafer for a brother-in-law, a frog-collecting grandma, and Momma's British lesbian friends, Muff and Freda Bottrell ("Clairvoyants and Tea Leaf Readers Extraordinaire"). To make matters worse, Darla lives in Paradise, a drought-ridden bend in the road that's spitting distance from Lamb of God Pentecostal Church and Big Bucks Bingo -- a world away from New York City, where she really wants to be. But Darla is blessed with the devotion of Elijah True, an elderly black man who nurtured her through childhood, the friendship of Brandy, the town's lonely beautician, and the unexpected love of the Reverend Spirit E. Jackson, a transplanted Australian who drives into town in an old white Cadillac and sweeps her off her feet.
