Trashy White Girls

Three generations of three vastly different women, with the intricate relationships of mother, daughter, granddaughter, all writing a diary of their lives.Earline, a mother in the 1950s, is learning roles of wife and mother. Her writing reveals to herself her lack of grammar education, and once she conquers that, she also surprisingly deals with unexpected widowhood.Precious, the daughter,A begins college life in 1969, which lasts only a month or so, interrupted by a funeral that is not attended due to a misadventure in Houston, which leads her and her best friend Joy back to Alabama, both waiting expectantly for the future.Pearl, the granddaughter, finds her true love in the playpen and fashions her own expectant hope for the 1970s.
