![]() ![]() She had no family except a drunken father who probably hasn’t even noticed she’s missing. ![]() No one wants to go to the trouble of finding out what happened to her and no one is obliged to bother. Everyone could just have assumed she’d followed her dream and run away to Hollywood. When Constable Sy reluctantly drags his bulk over to the scene, he asks why they didn’t just push May Lynn back in. ![]() Sue Ellen’s father and uncle want to push the body back into the water and forget about it, but she and Terry convince them to call the police. She’s clearly been there for a while, weighted down by a Singer sewing machine ties around her ankles. One day she and her friend Terry find the body of another friend – May Lynn Baxter – at the bottom of the Sabine river. Sixteen-year-old Sue Ellen lives in a small town in the old American South, a place characterised by poverty, racism and domestic abuse.
