Publisher's summary

Baby’s heart is in the right place, but she’s got problems—namely, a fierce taste for booze and an on-again-off-again boyfriend who can't commit. She’s living and working at Oakwood Hills, a crumbling lakeside resort, with her friends, Crystal Nugget and DJ Overalls, reeling since her adoptive mother died of a stroke. And now, the return of local drug kingpin Bad Mike is about to throw her already unstable summer into full-blown chaos.

To make matters worse, the owner of Oakwood Hills announces plans to sell the resort to Amelia, her boyfriend's wealthy twin sister, who plans to renovate it, sucking the life out of the only home Baby's ever known. Desperate to thwart the sale, Baby and her friends decide to try to recover a sunken treasure rumored to be sitting at the bottom of the lake. But Bad Mike also has his eyes on the prize, and when the search gets criminal, Baby will be forced to walk down a road full of hidden secrets that will change how she sees herself—and her life—forever.

Lots of fun!

When the MC's name is Dumpster Baby, it's hard to imagine what to expect for the rest of the book. Turns out there were a lot of pleasant surprises throughout the story. And Baby (eventually) becomes the character you can't help but root for. I listened to this on Audible and highly recommend. Both the story and performance were great!

Truly original

I'm taking time to write about this book because the heroine, story, and setting are truly original and so well-drawn and compelling.
Part "Ozark" and part "Dragon Tattoo," it follows a young woman named Baby, short for
"Dumpster Baby," because that's how she was found and subsequently adopted by a grizzled, gruff, but kind-hearted alcoholic woman, Hannah.
The plot begins just after Hannah's sudden death when Baby's world is turned upside down and she must unravel a mystery surrounding the only "home" she has--a dive bar where she works called "the Bloody Parrot" which will determine her tenuous future.
