Description

A family, a place they love. A house, a horse, a dog they adore. But also a malady, a contagion, a sickness of one infecting the others. This is a story of Eden won and lost., of humanity frail and flawed, of people trying hard to get it right and earn their way back home. ". . . . Timmy (is) evocative, well-written, compelling reading.") Senior Reviewer, Diane Donovan, Midwest Reviews)With love and laughter, tears and sorrow, Timmy and his brother thrive in the countryside. But they must face their father's rages and their mother's temerity. Doomed to banishment, they become nomads in an inhospitable land. And through each gut-wrenching defeat, synapses fire to mold young minds. Luckily, hope resides strongest with the desperate, and Timmy's mother is not without ambition. Neglected and abandoned in small and meaningful ways, the boys become independent and wise beyond their years. Until his young parents learn to get it right, Timmy and his brother are left to seek small victories on their own, trusting, learning, and hoping that Providence will grant them a home."excellent prose" Manhattan Reviews."Readers interested in a powerful memoir that reads like fiction, is replete with lovely metaphorical descriptions, and follows a family pulled by the winds and road will find Timmy evocative, well-written, compelling reading."
