Book is telling about life, times, and travels of Charles - "Pretty Boy" Floyd - from his extended family, the brother and parents. It just seems that he cannot catch a break; of course, his impulsive actions always seem to catch up with him. He does have deep feelings for who he is with the times. He never forgets his son and the first wife throughout. ( )
