Rita Mae Brown
Born a bastard, Molly Bolt is adopted by a dirt-poor
Southern couple who want something better for their daughter.
Molly plays doctor with the boys, beats up Leroy the tub and loses
her virginity to her girlfriend in sixth grade.
As she
grows to realize she's different, Molly decides not to apologize
for that. In no time she mesmerizes the head cheerleader of Ft.
Lauderdale High and captivates a gorgeous bourbon-guzzling
heiress.
But the world is not tolerant. Booted out of
college for moral turpitude, an unrepentant, penniless Molly takes
New York by storm, sending not a few female hearts aflutter with
her startling beauty, crackling wit and fierce determination to
become the greatest filmmaker that ever lived.
