Plenty Porter by Brandon Noonan
The daughter of poor sharecroppers in rural Illinois, Plenty Porter is the youngest of eleven children. In their very cramped, old farmhouse, she feels as though she is "one too many." When Plenty was born, the doctor asked her mother if she planned on having any more children, her reply was, "Eleven is plenty." And thus, Plenty earned her appropriate name. "Plenty Porter" is a coming-of-age novel reminiscent of to kill a mockingbird in style and themes, in which a young girl on the cusp of turning thirteen wrestles with the issues surrounding her family after one of her sisters attempts to commit suicide. Plenty develops a special friendship with Ed, the rich boy who lives up the road, and together they come to terms with what it truly means to be a family. Lyrical and poignant, "Plenty Porter" is a stirring, evocative debut by an astounding new talent, Brandon Noonan.
Brandon Noonan is a screenwriter who lives in Los Angeles. His first screenplay, DEM, is being directed by Neil LaBute and stars Ben Stiller.
