Four Corners [Paperback]

Krista Madsen (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 1, 2005

Surrounded by endless fields and no trace of ocean, Laur changes her name to Lore and imagines a new existence full of motorcycles and escape. Johnny Crisis, a singer, seems to offer all this. But the barely living and the mostly dead haunt Lore: an eight foot tall deceased father who looms larger than ever, a lower case mom dwindling to bone and still nodding at whatever fanciful feats and stories her husband's memory concocts, and a twin brother who burrows through literal and figurative rubble at home. Teetering, Lore questions these burdens and her budding relationship with Johnny Crisis.
