Her thumbs are so abnormally large that her parents and friends feel sorry for her. The story begins in South Richmond, Virginia, where Sissy begins her life as something of a small-town spectacle.
The novel, clearly inspired by the hippy movement of the 1960s and 1970s, demonstrates Robbins's appreciation for the absurdity and kindness of characters of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments.
Along the way, Sissy meets other strange characters and comes to better love herself. Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, a humorous novel by acclaimed bestselling author Tom Robbins, follows the journey of Sissy Hankshaw, a free-spirited, beautiful young woman with abnormally large thumbs, who seeks to make the most of her mutation by hitchhiking across America.
