This cover makes me think of the pig killing scene from Carrie every time I see it.Next Up: I'm a little nervous about this one. Not sure what to expect. I have a tough time with animal stories.
Is this a chapbook? This story sounds interesting to me.76. Odd Adventures with Your Other Father
Norman Prentiss
About the Book:
"Because one of her fathers died whens she was very young, much of Celia's family knowledge comes from stories her surviving father narrates -- road-trip adventures from the mid-80s that explore homophobia in a supernatural context. As she considers these adventures (a rescue mission aided by ghostly hallucinations; a secluded town of strangely shaped inhabitants; a movie star with a monstrous secret), Celia uncovers startling new truths about her family's past...."
My Thoughts:
This is a great cover. It drew my eye immediately and just more or less demanded I read it...soon! Lynne Hansen Design is given credit for this cover. Perfect.
The story is so many things. The creative way in which a relationship is shown to us was so brilliant. I loved the laughs; the supernatural things were great fun! The hate and bullying that happened in the book made me nervous. I tend to be the type of person who sees the bloody chicken getting pecked on and I insert myself into the fray. I don't like to see someone become the target for some unhappy fool. So, I spent a great deal of time anxious for our two dads. But, ultimately, the real story is about love, connection, family, loss and getting up and feeling it all again the next day. The bonds that stay with us -- not till death do us part, but into the great unknown as well.
This was a good book. It made me cry because we're all just human -- feeling, experiencing, wanting the same things unique to each and every one of us.
Is this a chapbook? This story sounds interesting to me.
And finally, my last book of 2018
