Quincie Bolliver

Quincie, the motherless thirteen-year-old daughter of an itinerant muleskinner, is the captivating protagonist of this depression-era novel set in the Texas oil patch.

It is not only a remarkable first novel, but also one that should stand for all time.O'Donnell, Mary King is the author of 'Quincie Bolliver' with ISBN 9780896724495 and ISBN 0896724492.
