The Series.As a young girl with a desire to become a reporter, Bonnie Long derives great satisfaction from her daily reporting of life in her small mountain community.With a single, very attractive and unashamedly flirtatious mother, who is also a flamboyant pole dancer, Bonnie accepts as normal the unusual behaviors of people who come and go in her young life. She is guilty of misinterpreting the zany and earthy lifestyles of not only her family, but also of other families in her isolated country community, that time appears to have left behind.Mischief and mayhem go hand-in-hand with an inquisitiveness inherited from her sharp-eyed Grandma Molly, who is also the matriarch of all gossipmongers.As would be natural with someone young and uninitiated in worldly matters, Bonnie receives many inappropriate responses when she asks the wrong people, the wrong questions at the wrong time.The Book.Although 'Fun Times' for Bonnie is usually centered on Thanksgiving and Christmas, her life education ramps up a notch when Francie, her mother, trades boredom for a burst of hyperactivity in Las Vegas. Bonnie's sympathy for the homeless on the Vegas Strip, slides towards indifference when mother and daughter rescue befuddled Grandpa from the Playmates' Parlor, minus his shoes and money.
