The Bingo Queens of Paradise — 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. But as she plans her escape to New York City, turmoil erupts and the demands of family stand between her and her suitcase. Darla must, for the first time in her life, cast an unflinching eye on the hard-to-accept truths regarding love, responsibility, and survival. "The Bingo Queens of Paradise" lyrically blends a powerful comic voice with a poignant tale of a woman who longs to pursue her dreams.
