In this moving story, the reader will sense an air of greedy anticipation as these special cans:
Gold Budweiser
Green Mountain Dew
Red Santa Claus Coca-Cola.
Orange NEHI
takes the reader on another special journey with Zoie Baker; from the romantic but turbulent time of World War II, through the tumultuous decade of the 1960's; and ending with Zoie gathering cans during the 1980's.
There is magic, not just because of the wondrous characters, but also the friendships formed and the joys and the sorrows realized by each unique character.
However, in Zoie's idyllic world to gather her cans to build a community swimming pool, it becomes clear in the story that not every citizen is happy with her intrusion on their local roads. There are those who believe that Zoie is crazy or inflicted with a satanic soul, or worse, maybe even a communist spy. Some are cynical; and a few prove to be deadly dangerous and take action to rid her from their community.
Just when the tension reaches the boiling point, Gathering of Cans delivers an ending that will stun the reader into the appreciation of one independent woman's commitment to her family and friends.
