Soliloquy: Beyond Town Limits:Imperfect Lives, Empowered Choices

by Dene Hellman, Ann O'Dell

Overview

From sisters dancing in an art festival in search of the perfect garden bench to Frienemies speckled with pigeon shit, "Soliloquy: Beyond Town Limits" progresses through the hidden realms of child molesting, and animal hoarding. We coast the Midwest backroads through every momʼs nightmare of a lost child, and the drama of "fifty shades of ordinary." A verbal nightcap awaits the reader at the end of the book with two lesbians and a cat, and a psychic in a red neck town. Family dynamics, the many dimensions of friendship, the traumas of the young, and the resignation of old age – all find voices in this anthology.
