After foster-parenting four young siblings a decade ago, the author, Summer time Wood, tried to imagine a place where kids who are remaining alone or taken from their own families would find the love and the family they need. On her behalf, fiction was the tool to understand that world, and Wrecker, the central figure in her second novel, is the deserted child for whom life turns around in most sudden ways. It's June of 1965 when Wrecker enters the earth. The war is raging in Vietnam, San Francisco is tripping toward rose electric power, and Lisa Fay, Wrecker's beginning mother, is knocked practically sideways by life as a single parent or guardian in a city she can hardly manage to get around on her own. Three years later, she's in prison, and Wrecker is remaining to bounce around in the machine before he's transported off to live on with distant family members in the wilds of Humboldt County, California. When he arrives he's worried and angry, exploding at the littlest thing, and quick to flee. Raising Wrecker is the storyline of this guy and the motley group of isolated eccentrics who come together to improve him and become a family along the way. For listeners considered with the special guy at the center of The Tale of Edgar Sawtelle, Wrecker is a welcome companion.
