DREAMING HOME

From Biblioasis Books comes a poignant novel-in-stories that explores with humour and insight the ways we search for home.

A sister’s childhood act of betrayal awakens the father’s demons, ones spawned during his time in prisoner-of-war camps during the Vietnam War. The effects of the ensuing violence against the gay son ripple out over forty years. Set in Killeen, Texas, San Francisco and Fort Lauderdale are six tales told from separate points-of-view that, while heartbreakingly poignant, are often surprisingly funny. { MORE }
