BOTB Semifinalist - Redeeming Stanley, by Bodie Parkhurst

Redeeming Stanley, by Bodie Parkhurst

Meet Weldon Frame, self-diagnosed shrewd businessman, babe magnet, and mail room clerk extraordinaire. Meet Annie, Weldon's ex-girlfriend, mother of his unexpected child, and recently-identified gold-digging stone-cold bitch. Meet Stan and Babe, Prince of Demons and Whore of Babylon. Meet Angela, born-again Christian with a jones for Stan. Meet Grandma, a ghost who liked the family dog a little too well. Meet the Freak...well, maybe not. Meet the Coppess, a gum-snapping state trooper who has Weldon's sterling piece of American automotive engineering towed, leaving him afoot and furious in the middle of the Southern California desert night. And Annie, the stone-cold bitch, won't come pick him up. Clearly, Payback is in order. The rest is inevitable.
