Joe David Brown bol novinár a autor, najviac známy románom Addie Pray, ktorý bol adaptovaný do filmu Paper Moon z roku 1973. Jeho diela sa často vyznačovali zmyslom pre humor a vhľadom do života obyčajných ľudí, najmä v časoch ekonomických ťažkostí. Brown dokázal zachytiť ducha svojej doby a prostredia, v ktorom sa jeho postavy pohybovali, s citom pre detail a autenticitu.
Addie is the cheekiest, most cunning, and lovable little rascal to ever roam the streets of Alabama and literature. This mischievous girl captures the reader's heart from the very first page, as stealing is Addie's specialty. Even the savvy Long Boy acknowledges her talent as he takes her under his wing. From him, Addie learns how to con widows into buying ornate Bibles with inscriptions from the beyond and how to transform a clunker into a brand-new ride. The novel, originally published in 1971 as "Addie Pray," became a worldwide success. A year later, it caught the attention of Peter Bogdanovich, whose film adaptation, titled "Paper Moon," became an unforgettable cinematic experience.

Die klassische Geschichte eines weiblichen Huck Finn, die in den dunkelsten Tagen der Großen Depression spielt. Es ist die zeitlose Erzählung von der turbulenten Reise eines 11-jährigen Waisenkindes durch den tiefen Süden mit einem Betrüger, der vielleicht ihr Vater ist. Voller Humor, Pathos und einer unwiderstehlichen Erzählenergie ist dies amerikanisches Geschichtenerzählen in seiner besten Form.
