Download August and Then Some: A Novel AudioBook Free
Twisted bonds between a father and his children lead to revenge and a desperate hope for redemption and forgiveness. In the heat of August, Jake Terri Savage ("JT"), his little sister Danielle, and his bone-headed best friend, Nokey (nicknamed after "gnocchi"), try to take JT's father's cherished 1965 Shelby Cobra. Their reasons are commendable; the results,devastating. JT's abusive dad's notion of a 12th birthday gift idea gets his son involved in a barroom brawl. Nokey's dad considers he has potatoes for brains. Both sons live out their fathers' stunted visions in a way that brings down an awful judgment on all of them - departing JT hauling rocks for abuse while he staves off anxiety attacks and nightmares about his sister and her horrible half-known solution. A Dominican teenage woman with little hope for her own future offers JT another chance to save lots of someone, including himself. Throughout, David Prete's vibrant sense of atmosphere, limited plotting, and crackling dialogue supply the dysfunctional family tale a new rent on life.
