Description

In this New Edition with additional stories, Vonnie aged 10, a shining little star is growing up on the dusty edge of West Texas. These compelling stories give a true and tender account of a child's constant fear generated by Preacher Higgins and his fiery sermons of Hell. Although resilient, this scrappy 10 year old, faces difficult odds balancing her natural joy and exuberance with a strict religious church.

Vonnie's parents buy her and her Sissy an old piano for $50. Her great passion and love of the piano and spirited gospel singing, offer her a reprieve as she tries to figure things out for herself. Could she somehow be excused from Hell?
