Synopsis

"I had a horrible stepfather and he was the reason I ran away from home and ended up with a man I thought could be my father. The only trouble was, it wasn't a daughter he was looking for." After Dad, a coming-of-age tale with a difference, is the story of Ariel's emergence into the world after spending two years as the often-willing abductee of Will, a man who stopped at nothing to fulfill his obsessive fantasy. It is the story of her emotional healing and re-entry into normal life as she absorbs and comes to terms with all that had happened in those two years. Now living with her birth father, Ariel faces the task of integrating with her peers and engaging in activities more appropriate for a sixteen-year-old. She befriends Pat, a fellow student in a philosophy class at the local college and a gadfly and catalyst for Ariel's growth and healing. She quickly becomes Ariel's window on the real world, a sounding board and a counterpart and mirror for Ariel's feelings. They shape each other as together they reveal the full horror of what happened to Ariel in those missing two years. Told with humor and poignancy, this is a charming sequel to Finding Dad, an earlier novel by Margaret Pitz.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

"My 'writing' career probably began very early in my life when I was well-known for making things up; 'telling lies', is what the grown ups called it, so I stopped sharing my stories. I didn't stop writing them in my head though, and would spend hours and days creating whole families and situations, plots and denouements, as I drifted absently through my real life. My pretend world was a much happier place to be. Finding Dad began to take shape in my mind in 2008 as I wondered--and obviously invented-- what had really happened to a young girl who had gone missing in the north of England. The bulk of it was written in less than two months but was not complete, so I set it aside and decided--not for the first time--that I don't write. But I couldn't leave it alone, and after a while I looked at it again, took it more seriously, and produced the book that is now available." Now the sequel to Finding Dad is available too.
