Read by Doug Brendel

A rollicking comedy ... an irreverent look at how hope works. This story also messes with our tendency to stereotype people. Among the characters: a Mexican, a Scandinavian, an African, a Korean, and a Samoan, to name a few. A funny story, edgy in places. "A surreal, riotous trip" -Dogtown Books, Gloucester MA "A bawdy, tender, philosophical romp" -Vicki H., MA "Seriously funny ... One of the most thought-provoking novels I've ever read ... A page-turner with short bursts of fun and surprises" -David B., VA "Hilariously funny ... A must read." -Barbara B., MA "What a ride! It made me chuckle out loud" -Nikki M., MA "Funny and philosophical ... Clever, witty, and surprisingly thought-provoking ... A winner of a book!" -Trina S., MA "An utterly novel novel, stage-directed to vivid effect" -Sharon J., MA "This book disassembles predictability." -Gordon H., MA "A fascinating way of seeing the world. Fasten your seatbelt. It's a fun ride" -Brad C., MA "Very witty. The story moves right along.... The element of surprise never disappoints" -Roy N., OH "A fun read with memorable characters and snappy dialog.... You'll want to keep turning the page!" -Karl K., MA "Consistently entertaining and surprising.... Eccentric characters ... very unique, eccentric and humorous ... You are never sure what will happen next but it is fun and satisfying" -Chris F., MA
