The Honk and Holler is a cafe run by Vietnam vet, Caney Paxton. Crippled in the war, Caney hasn't left the cafe since he opened it twelve years ago. He has PTSD and copes with it by staying inside. He runs the cafe and lives in a small apartment in the back of the cafe.
Then Vena walks into his cafe one day, cradling a small, ill dog in her arms. She needs a job and talks Caney into letting her work as a carhop, promising him she will work for tips only. Of course, it isn't long until Vena has moved in with Caney and is sharing his bed. And two lonely souls discover that they still have a lot of loving and living to do.
I did enjoy this story a lot. I liked the characters you're supposed to like and hated the one character you're supposed to hate. I enjoyed seeing this bunch of losers turn their lives around and come together to find some happiness.
