About
Butterbean and Ruby Sweat, the heads of a fantastically redneck southern family, are trapped in generational poverty and facing a gut-wrenching crisis - how to raise money for their baby daughter's operation. Memorable characters swarm the pages. Slob extraordinaire Bean sails through life as trailer park philosopher, clown prince, and champion to his fellow chicken plant workers. Ruby styles in her leopard leotard at her beauty parlor, Ruby's Curl Up 'N Dye. Bean's nemesis, Calvin Butler, looms as the unscrupulous chicken plant owner. Bean suspects a "sal-vanilla" cover-up then faces the dilemma of a lifetime. Luck Be A Chicken is hilarious and heartbreaking southern satire flavored with a bit of farce. Will the baby get her operation? Will Butler face true justice?
