Vangie

Evangeline, Vangie, has a problem, actually more than one problem.
Her father, Homer and her mother, Lucinda were murdered by a drunk. Leaving Vangie an orphan. Vangie inherited the family farm, but without Homer's strong back and Lucinda's management, the farm doesn't bring in enough money to pay the mortgage.
Vangie works, as a hairdresser, in town, but that doesn't bring in enough money for any kind of decent life.
Then, there's the matter of the fortune teller. There had been a carnival in town. Evangeline and her three friends talked to the fortune teller lady. The old black lady claimed to be a gypsy and she could do black magic. Evangeline had been properly raised by Lucinda and she wasn’t afraid of black magic. However, there wasn’t a lot to do in that part of South Louisiana and the girls all had their fortunes told for a lark.
All of the fortunes had come true, so far.
Vangie was to be ravished by the swamp beast and delivered to the Devil.
So far, Vangie is okay. However, she isn't all that sure of her looks. Yes, the ladies down at the hairdressers tell her that she looks good, but how much of that is real and how much just pity for the poor orphan girl?
Tonight, there are black lady cosmetics all the way from New York City, a fancy dress from New Orleans and a pair of by damn red high heel pumps. Tonight, Evangeline will just test the dream a little!
There’s a knock at Vangie's front door.
It turns out to be tall, handsome Jimmy Deveraux come calling.
Wild young Jimmy Deveraux left the bayous to find his fortune. It seems that he did make at least a small fortune wrestling under a name that takes Vangie back into her past. Jimmy wants to talk to Vangie.
Vangie has to confront her fears and, just maybe, take the chance of her life.
