Audio Book (CD). Condition: Good. From Publishers Weekly Starred Review. Tucker's complexly structured novel could be a tight wire act for a reader because the story has multiple narrators and follows two compelling story lines separated by almost two decades. Fortunately, Bean is a dexterous performer who is more than up to the challenge. She does an admirable job, not only reading chapters in alternating character voices but also enlivening dialogue within those chapters with subtle, compelling and entertaining voices for each character. She adapts a higher, airy lightness to portray Dorothea, who is thrust out into the modern world to discover family secrets after having been sheltered from the outside world for decades by her overprotective father. Bean portrays Dorothea's emotionally damaged brother, Jimmy, with a scratchy, raw rasp and her cab-driving protector, Stephen, with the laid-back ease of a lower register. (The only voice that seems off is Dorothea's father, who sounds like a robotic Hannibal Lechter.) Tucker's tale is a twisty one filled with surprising revelations and multiple emotional payoffs, and Bean maneuvers the terrain with ease. Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Product Description Dorotheas father, like all good parents, wanted to keep his children safe. But unlike other parents, Charles OBrien believed the only way to do so was to leave everything behind, including his very successful life. In a rocky, desolate corner of New Mexico, on a thirty-five acre estate he called the Sanctuary, Charles raised the children in complete isolation, with books and encyclopedias, records and a grand piano, but no television, computer, radio, or even a newspaper. Now, Dorothea, at twenty-three, is leaving this place for the first time, in search of her missing brother-and venturing into the world.Dorotheas search will turn into an odyssey of discovery, leading to the truth of her familys past and the terrifying day that changed her father forever. But Dorotheas journey will also introduce her to an unusual cast of characters, including a homeless girl from Missouri who becomes a jazz singer and a doctor turned cabdriver who has suffered his own losses. Together, they have a chance to make a discovery of a different kind: that though a heart can be broken by the tragic events of a day, a day can also bring a new chance at love and a deeper understanding of lifes infinite possibilities. About the Author Lisa Tucker is the author of The Song Reader and Shout Down the Moon; she has also published short work in Seventeen, Pages, and The Oxford American. She has advanced degrees in English and math, and has taught creative writing at the Taos Conference and UCLA. Lisa lives in Pennsylvania and New Mexico with her husband and son. From AudioFile With skill and empathy, Joyce Bean narrates the strange, compelling story of Jim and Dorothea, children raised in complete isolation from television, school, people, and computers. As young adults, they have little memory of their luxurious childhood in Hollywood. Now they live at "The Sanctuary," a thirty-five-acre ranch in New Mexico, which has become a locked haven since a home invasion left their mother near death. Bean's portrayal of their mother's painful recovery and her addiction to prescription drugs is realistic. With her versatile voice range, Bean's portrayal of Dorothea's frightened cries during the invasion is chilling. Her depiction of Jim's fear in the psychiatric ward is realistic. This one won't disappoint. G.D.W. AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine-- Copyright AudioFile, Portland, Maine.

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Stated first edition. (ARC ISBN 0684041464, book ISBN 0743492773) Trade paperback, Advanced Reading Copy (ARC). Signed by author. "The spirit of Jane Eyre looms over 'Once Upon a Day.' Lisa Tucker keeps the plot bubbling with tons of juicy family secrets." — Stewart O'Nan. Nineteen years ago, a famous man disappeared from L.A., taking his two children to a rocky, desolate corner of New Mexico where he raised them in complete isolation in a utopian "Sanctuary," away from the decadence of America. Now, Dorothea, the man's twenty-three-year-old daughter, is leaving this place for the first time, in search of her missing brother, a brilliant painter who fled the Sanctuary himself two years before, only to become lost in the dark underbelly of St. Louis and the even darker memories of a violent incident when he was a young child. Dorothea's search for her brother will turn into an odyssey of discovery, leading to the shocking truth about her family's past and the terrifying events of the day that drove her father to flee California in a desperate attempt to protect his children from a dangerous world. But Dorothea's journey will also introduce her to another man who has suffered his own losses, and together they have a chance to make a discovery of a different kind: that though a heart can be broken by the tragic events of a day, a day can also bring a new chance at love and a deeper understanding of life's infinite possibilities. Beautifully written, and always compelling, "Once Upon a Day" is an epic tale of tragedy and forgiveness. "Lisa Tucker's 'Once Upon a Day' is a smart, compelling story about the ungainliness of familial and romantic love, spiked with of-the- moment observations about such things as Hollywood, home schooling, and American violence. Tucker's quietly and yet wildly ambitious novel is a subtle, witty deconstruction of fairy tales and a graceful tour de force of storytelling." — Mark Winegardner, author of "Crooked River Burning" and "The Godfather Returns." "Lisa Tucker gives me what I want most from fiction: compassion and provocation. her novels rattle my brain and shake me out of complacency. They tell me about me. 'Once Upon a Day' is more impressive than anything she's written previously, and I don't say that lightly." — John Dufresne, author of "Louisiana Power and Light" and "Love Warps the Mind a Little." Fine tight copy, unread, near fine shiny wrappers. Novel. Signed by Author(s).
