Summary "In 1941, James T. Cullowee, the Kudzu King, arrives in Cooper County, NC to spread the gospel of Kudzu--claiming that it will improve the soil, cheaply feed cattle, even cure headaches. When Mr. Cullowee organized a kudzu festival, complete with a beauty pageant, fifteen-year-old Mattie Lee Watson wants to be crowned Kudzu Queen and capture his attention. But kudzu tries to take over whatever stands in its way--as does the Kudzu King. When Mattie discovers his dark side, she realizes she must defeat them both. Based on historical facts, The Kudzu Queen unravels a tangle of sexuality, power, race, and kudzu through an irresistibly delightful (and mostly honest) narrator." --page [4] of cover
