A Love Song for Bobby Long

    a_love_song_for_bobby_long_3Following the death of her mother Lorraine, Pursy Will leaves her Florida trailer park to return to her hometown of New Orleans. Upon arriving she finds Bobby Long, a washed up former literature professor with a voracious drinking habit. He lives in the rundown house in New Orleans that her mother formerly owned, along with Lawson Pines, his former star pupil and an alcoholic. Afraid of being thrown out on the street, Bobby convinces Lawson to tell Pursy that the house has been left to all three of them. Pursy, having little else to do, decides to move in, and starts cleaning up the place, making it her own. As she settles into the community, all of Lorraine’s old friends tell her how much she looks like her mother, and she begins to uncover some startling truths about her family history.
