{"product_id":"goner-2nd-edition-9780999566800","title":"Goner, 2nd Edition","description":"Goner follows the lives of four sisters from a progressive household in the Deep South. The narrative begins with their northern mother's arrival in a Louisiana army town as a young newspaper reporter in 1943 and her hasty, unconsidered, marriage to a genteel older man. The Sobral sisters grow up listening to the haunting calls of Mississippi riverboats and the rumbling of sugar cane trucks down the River Road; they attend their small town's black church, and endlessly speculate about the relationship between their beautiful, remote mother and kindly, optimistic father. The story follows the girls' childhood adventures--some hilarious and some breathtakingly dangerous--in a time and a place where adults pay little attention to the wanderings of children. In 1980, after their beloved and enigmatic mother's recent death, the four sisters return to the River Road house for their heartbroken father's deathwatch. There, on their last night together, one of the sisters uncovers a devastating secret.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ann Goethe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ann Goette\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.24w x 0.58d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780999566800\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnn Goethe's novel MIDNIGHT LEMONADE was a finalist for the Barnes and Nobel \"Discovery Prize.\" She is a published playwright; her poems, essays and short stories have appeared in numerous journals and magazines.
