Her mother, Delonda, had literally just gotten up off the couch and ridden her rickety bicycle down the road. Her dad was off somewhere, gambling or \"working.\" And Zippy was lost in her own fabulous world of exploring the fringes of Moorland, Indiana.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncreasingly frustrated with the limitations of her small-town, married-with-children life, Delonda decides first to learn how to drive a car, even though she won't have access to one. Next, she applies to the local college, eventually graduating with honors at age 40. We happily follow Zippy from one story to another, but we know this is really her mothers book: the poignant tale of a strong woman who found a way to save herself and set a proud example for her daughter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HighBridge Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47100561948912,"sku":"2940170009558","price":24.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170009558_p0.jpg?v=1763698956","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170009558","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
