WANTED: PARENTS FOR BLUE-EYED BABY GIRL, GRANDCHILD OF TEXAS JUDGE.

Victoria Korson's novel, THE CROOKED ROAD HOME, tells the story of Vivian Lucille Hawkins, a stubborn teen with big dreams. She schemes to conceive a baby to sell on the Internet so that she can move to Hollywood and achieve stardom.

Vivian Lucille Hawkins is pregnant. At sixteen she has big plans to leave Hicksville, Texas and move to Hollywood. Her English teacher, Henry Pritchett, has already fallen in love with her. She's such a free-spirited wild child compared to his dullard wife of over twenty years. He wants to stay with Vivian and be there for her when she has his baby.

Little does Pritchett know that Vivian has already devised her plan. She ensnared her teacher in a web of seduction, to get pregnant, sell the baby, and then have enough money to become a Hollywood movie star.

Vivian's plans get a little messy when she leaves her home in Texas, fleeing from a strict, Bible-wielding judge father, and her overbearing prison guard grandmother. Literally. She runs the State Prison facility and when she learns of Vivian's pregnancy, is prepared to take the baby and let one of the reformed prisoners raise it!

Vivian ends up at The Feathered Nest, a home for unwed mothers. Meeting Missus Dailey, and Efrain the handyman who never talks, Vivian is in for a total change in her lifestyle, and may even change her mind about her newborn baby.
