Bonnie and Clyde: A Love Story Book

From the critically acclaimed author of The Stone Garden he preferred guys with an edge to them. Bad Boys, her mama called them. If there was ever a bad boy, it was Clyde Chestnut Barrow. He had that look: those dark, secretive eyes that never looked directly into yours. He had a pretty face and a smooth way of talking and she liked his silk shirt and the way he fit into it. He liked her too. They were star-crossed lovers who blazed across the hot southwest in a time of drought and trouble. She wanted to be an actress and he wanted to rob banks. In an era that gave birth to the likes of Al Capone, John Dillinger, Pretty Boy Floyd, and Baby Face Nelson, Bonnie and Clyde were to become America's version of Romeo and Juliet-with guns! Their love for each other was without rhyme or reason, their bond unbreakable. They vowed the only thing that would ever separate them was a bullet. A vow the Texas Rangers hoped to make come true. Bonnie, the beautiful petite blond poet, was Clyde's equal in every respect. She was his lover and partner and was willing to die for her man. Clyde was tough and agile, a troubled soul of a man who loved only two things: bank robbing and Bonnie Parker. Whether behind the wheel of a fast-moving Ford V-8, or in the sultry bedroom of a Texas motel, their love and lives were unparalleled in the annals of American history. Theirs is more than just a story of fast and furious, short and violent lives-theirs is a story of unshakable love and devotion few ever experience.Read More
