This psychological detective novel explores the once largely
unacknowledged-not only soldiers get post-traumatic stress
disorder: that child abuse whether it is overt or covert incest, is
a time bomb. Lily's Odyssey unfolds with the inevitability, impact,
and resolution of an ancient Greek play. The dialogue rings true,
the journey conveyed with moods and half-tones, to portray
fragmented Midwestern characters with poignancy. From child to
grandmother, Lily's voyage is told with lyricism, humor, and irony
through a poet's voice to distill American life in religion,
marriage, and family. A contemporary odyssey without maps by a
woman short listed for the 2009 Eric Hoffer Award for Best New
Writing, a National Federation of State Poetry Societies Award
Winner.
