Yancey's newly published work is a romantic, funny, and sexy novel about a Florida family on the go in the late '60s and early '70s. This injects as much values as there are amusing or intriguing scenes.

Passionate characters, a multitude of pets, and unpredictable situations emerge. With a young girl searching for stardom, the crazy world of entertainment is well portrayed. A former beauty queen, who is also a single mother of three young sons, searches for the perfect man which lands her in many funny and awkward situations all in this crazy world of entertainment..

The family's uplifting and refreshing spirit in the face of hard knocks and their optimism is the heart of this book.
