Description

<p>A mythical jewel of a story… A true story told on a beach in Yucatan, A Shadow tells Stephanie's story but it was also the story of the golden time. Its nostalgia sings like cicadas in the heat.</p><p>An American ‘Under Milkwood’, this distilled novel of the Sixties evokes the sounds, music and optimism on the free-wheelin streets and parks of Coconut Grove. You can hear Bob Dylan still strumming acoustic; smoke a joint with Fred Neil; and Everybody’s Talkin is carried on the wind.</p><p>Stephanie, a young hairdresser living in lodgings finds herself pregnant. Refused help from her hard Catholic mother in New York, unable to abort her baby, she accepts the kindness of Miriam, her Jewish landlady, whose own barren life spills into compassionate assistance for the daughter she never had.</p><p>The poignancy of its ending, its generosity and acceptance, echoes the bitter disappointment of those of us who hoped for so much more, but who remember its joy, and its promise, as though untarnished by time.</p>

Reviews

<p>Posted August 24, 2006, 11:04 AM EST: 'Faye' is truly a book that I can say touched me personally. It showed me that we all have trials and tests that we go through yet it is still up to us to realize that God is almighty and in control over what happens in our lives. We will all be put to test at one point in our lives, but it is how we deal with it that makes us better. I encourage others to read this book and be richly blessed and motivated to make the best of their lives and their current situations, regardless of whats going on. Trusting in God will see us all through! This book is a must read!<br /></p>
