Bernadette and Lilly have been best friends since they were born days apart in the Lone Grove, Texas hospital. Smart, attractive, talented and poor, they rely on each other through the challenges and joys of being all of these in a small town where prejudices and labels are liberally applied. When Bernadette decides she has outgrown Lone Grove, she sets in motion changes for everyone she cares about, and others she couldn’t have predicted—leaving her family and Lilly behind. “All About B.A.D.” is a poignant, humorous, and beautiful story of growth, hope, and women nurturing women and others who enter their lives. It is a story of “filling up and letting go.”

All about friendship By Verva Densmore When an artist uses Pointillism, a dot of color touches the canvas and is added to other dots until a clear picture forms. In her book "All About B.A.D." Melba Heselmeyer uses a short chapter format that works this same way. Each vignette gives the reader a dot of color that slowly reveals her characters, with all their pains, pleasures and personalities. There are times when this technique is very effective, but there are also times when I want more. I want her to go deeper so I can learn more about the situation or the location or the person. Still, by the end of the book I felt as if I knew and understood her characters. They were familiar, like someone I would actually know, maybe somebody I do know. They are the women we see all around us. Women who are struggling with relationships, love, illness, and pain but put on a happy face to wait our tables, serve our food, brighten our day. The action in this book is interior. It shows us how women deal with the everyday struggles of life and help each other through the tough spots while laughing through the good. It's a book about enduring friendships, the kind of friendships that make life wonderful. A book that is a pleasure to read.

Set in East Texas and Galveston in the 1960s, it tells the story of Bernadette Ann Donahue (B.A.D.) and her best friend, Lilly, who grow up in Lone Grove, Texas. Both of them – but especially BAD - long to escape the confines of their small town and rural poverty for the hope of something better and brighter. BAD does break free but discovers life outside of Lone Grove is hard and filled with unexpected challenges. Meanwhile, Lilly carves her own path back home. These two are joined by a host of colorful characters as they navigate life using their native talents – art (BAD) and writing (Lilly). The author, a native of East Texas and longtime resident of Houston, uses her lyrical prose style to capture indelible images of authentic small town life and the coastal city of Galveston.

Young girls huddling in girlish friendship, making pacts and wondering about the world beyond the piney woods of East Texas. The author uses a colorful, terse style to lure you into their lives, allowing the reader access to the characters at a pace that is no faster than the characters would have wanted you to know about them. With enticing glimpses ahead, soon you are loath to put the book down. At the end, you will have new friends, friends that are living their lives of joys and sorrows, surprises and setbacks, and all the while with a toughness and charm distinct to their roots. A new author, a first book, and a good story that will draw you in.
