Letting go of Bobby James, or how I found my self of steam

I picked this one up because of the title. How could I resist? Letting go of Bobby James, or how I found my self of steam by Valerie Hobbs is the story of sixteen-year-old Sally Jo (Jody) Walker, who is left behind at a gas station in Florida by her abusive husband, Bobby James. She's too proud to call home (in Texas) and try to get help, so she finds herself a job, sleeps in the cineplex, and eventually makes a few friends: Effaline, a pregnant girl, and Dooley, who works at the cineplex and lives in a group home. Everything seems to be going fine, until a hurricane hits and Bobby James shows up. An interesting book about friendship and survival. This would make a great audiobook, I bet. I could almost hear Jody's voice as I was reading.
