Synopsis

Patti Jean Carpenter is a woman who has spent her life on the fringe of social norms in the small town of Potowango in west central Indiana. She finds herself pushed to the outside of acceptability, first by poverty and then through innate preferences. Patti Jean is a sweet soul whose naïveté and position as a nearly invisible entity in her community provide a different perspective on life in the Baby Boom Generation.Doing research for the academic Kinsey Sex Institute, Patti Jean’s niece Liz asks her aunt to record her life story. Confused as to why she is of interest to anyone, Patti Jean tells the tale of her early abuse at her brother’s hand, her efforts to keep herself and her siblings inside the realm of economic normalcy, her struggle to create an average life, her acceptance of herself, and her fear being alone or lowering the barriers to become a true partner in a full relationship.Patty Jean learns how to forgive and to free herself from the anger that could destroy her.
