Some days are just too crazy to be believed. Rebecca Graves has taken one such day from her hometown history and woven diverse events into a colorful tapestry of hilarious misadventures, surprises, and soul-searching developments. When the hippie fair coincides with the Republican annual picnic right across the street, the protagonist tries to pull off a successful sidewalk sale at her local business, and travel-weary Pakistani visitors show up unannounced, the lives of Leni, Hank, Maryka, Dim, Pete, Nancy, Boris, and Halana intersect in wild and wacky ways. Collapsing structures, a pregnancy test that may or may not be positive, and the Grateful Dead dance through this story that takes the reader on a journey of one day but countless changes in attitudes and relationships.

About the Author

Rebecca Graves moved from Memphis, Tennessee to Vashon Island, Washington in 1975. A teacher with a master's degree in early childhood education, she has been engaged in that profession in various ways--from teaching preschool and kindergarten, to doing neurodevelopmental therapy, to substitute teaching. She is heavily involved in community and the arts, singing with the Threshold Choir and two other choruses, participating in fiber arts groups with knitting and felting, producing a fundraiser for the high school drama department that brought in $12,000, and creating a popular Facebook page called Visual Delights on Vashon, where locals showcase their photographs of the beauty that surrounds us. She has been married to Phil Volker for forty years and they have raised two children
