Goldfish, Death & Jesus (Paperback)

Unbeknownst to him, Benny, a four year old is the object of contention between two strong-willed females in his family. One is Sylvia, the woman he has lived with his entire life and he knows as mother. The other is Isabella, the oldest child in the family and Benny's birth mother who he affectionately calls Issie. After Sylvia accidently sweetens tea with LSD laced sugar cubes while at Issie's apartment, she and her husband decide Benny is not safe in her care. Determined that she will not be separated from Benny, Issie, with the help of three odd ball friends, Dennis the dwarf, and Slim and Jim the midget Siamese twins, spirit Benny away while the family is at church. Dennis and the twins have a problem that Issie wasn't aware of - they owe a crime boss for a large supply of marijuana they took. The crime boss sends two of his men to find them to collect. When it's discovered they don't have the money nor the supply the crime boss decides to place all of them in a rigged wrestling tour, taking on a volunteer from the audience who happens to be working for the crime boss. Benny has to pretend he is a midget because Issie doesn't want them knowing he is a child. Along the way deep friendships develop. Benny wants to find a way to free himself and Issie from the crime bosses clutches and thinks he knows how once he discovers by accident that a walking stick Dennis carries with him is capable of belching fire and causing damage.
