A propos du livre

Revue de presse

The latest in Sandlin s GroVont series, this ribald tale centers around Lydia, a fiftysomething rebel freshly released from prison for attempting to kill President Reagan s dog via a poisoned chew toy. She travels home to GroVont, Wyoming, where her son, Sam, is the owner of a boardinghouse for pregnant teens. Roger, an adolescent with a mysterious past, also works there, and the newly freed Lydia thinks she has information on Roger s past. While Lydia records the life story of Oly, a geriatric centenarian, for her parole-enforced community service, Roger decides he must speak with the author of a novel that may describe his past. Lydia, Oly, and Roger set off on a cross-country journey of discovery. On the trip, love blossoms unexpectedly for Roger while something much darker ripens inside Lydia. Oly presents his thoroughly entertaining biography throughout the trip taking them through WWI, 1920s Paris, and severe heartbreak while Roger comes closer to danger than he ever suspected. A wonderfully woven tapestry of stories, this gem of a novel is as audacious as it is sentimental and ends on a shocking note that no one could have predicted. --Booklist Feb 16th 2011

Présentation de l'éditeur

Managing the Virgin Birth Home for Unwed Mothers means the women in Sam Callahan's life keep his world interesting. But it's his family members that really take the cake. His daughter may be having a nervous breakdown, and his mother's just out of prison for attempting to poison the president's dog. And when they hit the road with a geriatric, an adoptive son trying to discover his parentage, and an enraged psychopath on their tails, all hell may break loose.
