Storyline
Bliss Cavendar is a misfit in the small town of Bodeen, Texas, with no sense of direction in her life. Intrigued, she and her friend Pash attend a roller derby bout under the pretense of going to a football game, where they see the Holy Rollers defeat the Hurl Scouts, a perennially unsuccessful derby team.

“I think of a book and a movie as two separate things. I don't think of it as my novel having a new life.”
