Also, make sure to come back on December 4th to read my review of Wonderfully Dysfunctional!
Wonderfully Dysfunctional is the true story of a woman who laughs at funerals, a gypsy mother who refuses to wear a bra and a father who refuses to leave his first wife, a brother who sleeps under the coffee table and a sister who is kidnapped. A cheating minister, a missing uncle and a feisty, red-headed grandmother who was longing to leave it all.
Buffi always knew her family was unusual, but she was lucky enough to escape that gene. Or, was she? Joined by her siblings at the bedside of their dying grandmother, Buffi begins on a journey of self discovery as they recall stories of their youth, including juicy family secrets, inappropriate practical jokes, abuse and betrayal. Buffi is on a quest to find “normal” but finds herself instead.
It Must Be Genetic is about an American family of no particiular importance, descendants of the once wealth and revered Perry clan, but stripped of their family wealth during the Great Depression. It’s full of quirky characters like grandmother Mopsie, who is a sexy divorced mother of two in the 1950’s who would turn the heads of her conservative neigbors when hosting the best poker parties in town, but who can now be found sleeping her days away in the bed of a nursing home. The story climaxes when Mopsie accidentally reveals a secret that sends her family frantically searching through old documents to find the son she gave up for adoption half a century ago.
It Must Be Genetic is about acceptance, forgiveness and the great capacity to love. The story is written from the perspective of a third generation divorced mother, Buffi, who realizes that the very traits that make her family dysfunctional may be the same traits that make it so wonderfuly. At 64,000 words, it’s paced for a quick and easy read!
