Publisher's Synopsis
"The 1950s were no Ozzie and Harriet episode, especially for a shy kid like Art Dennison. As Art grows up with a father who can explode in rage and a mother who just doesn't fit the required role, his life sometimes feels surreal. The "pieces" of this slyly humorous, compassionate novel reflect Art's fragmentary experience in a family always on the move-- from one temporary home to another, from East Coast to West, always seeking the. elusive American dream"--Publisher's website.
