'Crooked is a story of love, life and the Holy Spirit. Laney Waters has just moved to Mississippi with her mother, Elise. The sixteen year old suffers from a muscular condition which causes the muscles in her back to seize and clump together, which creates a hump like affect on her back. In the central point of adolescence, Laney’s condition isolates her from those at her new school and she seeks refuge in the sanctuary of her short stories. Enter an impressionable sixteen year old Preachers daughter Maribel Purdy, who is also cut off from her peers due to her weight and her ramblings on the Lord Jesus Christ. The girls quickly strike up a strong bond and together teach each other new lesson’s in life, redemption and love. An underlying story is that of the relationship between mother and daughter, how both struggle to understand each other and adapt to a new life where the latter seems to be growing old before her time.
