"A deftly researched, compassionate rendering of Bonnie Parker, one
of the most fascinating women in recent history. With great empathy
and skill Walsh portrays Bonnie's collision course with disaster,
allowing us to ride shotgun all the way. And what a compelling ride
it is!" - Ariel Lawhon, author of I Was Anastasia "Even knowing
what will happen, readers are likely to wish the devoted pair well
before they're given up by a former partner in crime, when Clyde
Barrow is 25 and Bonnie Parker 23. Moving historical fiction that
vividly portrays the life and times of Bonnie and Clyde." -
Booklist Praise for Jenni L. Walsh's Becoming Bonnie "Walsh's debut
historical novel brings the Prohibition era, the Great Depression,
and American gangsters to life through the personality and
circumstances of a notorious moll who starts out as a good girl.
Although the story focuses on Bonnie, supporting characters provide
further perspectives on the magnetic pull of jazz, illegal booze,
and a (short) life on the lam . . . Look forward to the sequel for
later exploits of these notorious bandits." --Booklist
"Jenni L. Walsh's debut historical novel will make you wait for
Clyde Champion Barrow, but you'll have fun along the ride, complete
with an era that people just can't stop raving about: the Roaring
Twenties."--Bookreporter
"As her new life . . . barrels toward her old one on a collision
course, Bonnelyn must decide what name she wants to make for
herself. Walsh's rollicking narrative will have readers rooting for
Bonnelyn-turned-Bonnie every (dance) step of the way." --Shelf
Awareness "A compelling account of a nation and a life in
disarray--readers will feel for Bonnelyn as she finds herself
scrabbling for survival in a world turned upside down. How do you
go from good girl to gangster's moll? Jenni L. Walsh takes you
along for the ride in an account so vivid you would think you were
there with her."--New York Times bestselling author Lauren Willig
"In Becoming Bonnie Jenni Walsh delivers an intriguing insight into
the life of one half of the infamous duo, Bonnie and Clyde. I look
forward to reading more from this new author."--New York Times
bestselling author Hazel Gaynor
