But then, in the span of twenty-four hours, Jo manages to lose her job, burn her bridges in Hollywood, and accidentally burn down her lover\/director's beach house--after which she is shipped home to Texas by her agent to stay out of sight while she sorts out her situation. \u003cbr\u003e The more Jo reluctantly reconnects with her Texas \"roots\" and the family and friends she left behind, the more she regains touch with herself as an artist and with what is meaningful in life beyond the limelight. The summer of 2007 is cathartic for Jo, whose career and lifestyle have allowed her to live like a child for forty years, but who now must transition to making grown-up decisions and taking on adult responsibilities. \u003ci\u003eIn the Heart of Texas\u003c\/i\u003e is a wry, humorous commentary on the complexities of race, class, relationships, politics, popular culture, and celebrity in our current society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 328\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 25, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47422791876786,"sku":"9781631521591","price":18.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/ku9OKaEtHK9781631521591.webp?v=1783311621","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/in-the-heart-of-texas-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
