Sordid Stories of an Ordinary Family - A celebration of betrayal, tragedy, and disabilities (Paperback)

Sordid Stories of an Ordinary Family is a humorous collection of short stories revolving around the quirkiness of an ordinary family living in a small town in rural America. The author combines a unique blend of storytelling styles- the charm of a Norman Rockwell painting gone awry with a sordid twist of Steven King. The stories have their over the top moments and can be a scary experience for the sensible person. Growing up mostly unsupervised, the children use murder, betrayal and trickery as forms of entertainment. The stories explore how the family deals with tragedy, birth defects, and disabilities by relying on their individual strengths. Gina Rae combines satire with a frank look at quirky human behavior, believing that a day without irony would be a dull day indeed. She asks, "Why be sad when you can take hardship and turn it into entertainment?"
