“As if from the back row of a smoky movie theater, she watched as they entered the kitchen and took their places on her mother's polished black and white linoleum. The Wing Commander, his face kind. His wife, sunglasses in the morning. People really do wring their hands when they are anxious. The Chaplain, specks of dried blood on his chin - a quick shave before the breaking of the hearts.”

Latest 5 Star Amazon Review "For the first time in years, I stayed up way too late to finish a book... The lovable character with autism was mainstreamed and treated like one of the gang instead of one who demanded special attention due to his disability. Can't wait to read the sequel."
