More DescriptionVOICE OF THE OZARKS is about two women who live deep in the hollow of the Ozark Mountains. Georgia has a man, J.R., but he is lazy and she has to prod him to keep him from losing his job. Millie, her next door neighbor, has two children, Sissy and Sonny. Her man, Gabe, left her when Sissy was a newborn. She has been waiting for him to return for six years, and after watching Georgia have the time of her life while J.R. is working, Millie decides enough is enough and goes looking for a man at the local saloon. She is just embarking on her new life when Gabe returns unexpectedly, but he's not the same and he's so big he scares Sissy. Sonny remembers him a little, but not like he is now. Gabe stays and reunites with his family, but not without some frightening episodes before all comes together. In the end, both children come to love their father and life is good in their little piece of the Ozarks.This is about life in the Hilly Billy country in the early fifties, when moonshine was a mainstay not only for liquid enjoyment but for medicinal purposes as well. It is funny, sad, and action filled.
