Fat and Sassy

Arkansas moonshine and California citrus. A stone church and an ironing board. Post Depression woes. World War II. Mix it all up. Add six children into the mix, three of each, and you've got a unique product - Bea Jones. A lady, when asked how she was, liked to retort, "I'm fat and sassy." Bea's tale takes you on the ride from California to Arkansas - to Missouri - and back to California in the early forties. The family finally settles down in a small California town, Glendora, nestled at the base of the foothills. While they viewed Mt. Baldy everyday, life also threw its own mountains in the Jones' family path. Come along and join the family as Bea and Casey struggle to keep their family fed and clothed, with just a bit of Arkie sass.
