Publisher's Synopsis
In Palace Ave, you will visit many chambers of the heart: lament, joy of dancing, surrender, bewilderment, laughter, resignation, ultimate resolution, and clarity.
Divided into two sections, Last of the Valley Girls and Palace Ave, the reader will be caught somewhere between childhood and adulthood, experiencing longing, loneliness, past and future love, along with joy and arms open to the world and those who are in it. Humor takes its place, even in the midst of grief. Like intimate thoughts pronounced out loud, you are likely to hear admiration and compassion for famous painters like Van Gogh, dear friends and lost friends, aging parents, as well as gratitude for the radiance of nature, love of innocence, and what is right and wrong with the world.
