The Sound of One Wing Flapping (Paperback)

Paperback. Is mental illness 100 percent genetic, or is it just contagious? Consider the Day family: Stormy Day's mother vanished when he was born, which was years before his unusual sisters -- Sunny and Holly -- mysteriously arrived. His father Lucky is an eccentric, alcoholic, one-armed ex-prize fighter who is determined to carry all of the family secrets to his imminent grave beside his own father, who isn't actually dead. But none of that works out. A series of coincidences sprout up in the back seat of Stormy's Boston taxi cab, and then blossom into a bizarre family reunion and a wild conspiracy to defraud the state lottery for $26 million dollars! "Synchronicity" is what Dr. Carl Jung called life-altering events which have no direct cause. He suggested that when something can't possibly be a coincidence, it probably isn't one. And so this story is not about coincidences. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability. …
