What's everybody saying?( Continued)

• My Sister From The Black Lagoon A Novel of My
  Life follows the story of Lorna Person, a good
  girl living in her imagination as much as
  possible. Her sister, Lonnie, is clinically
  insane, so she's seen as a bad girl. But she,
  too, lives in her imagination... or rather, in
  her own little world. Prone to a fear of toast,
  her outbursts are entirely original, yet quite
  scary for people around her to witness.(Daystar364
