By Sean Patrick Flanery
A coming of age debut novel from The Boondock Saints and Young Indiana Jones actor Sean Patrick Flanery.
A young Mickey navigates through the dense Texas humidity of the 70s and out onto the porch every single time his Granddaddy calls him, where he’s presented with the heirloom recipe for life, love, and manhood. But all the logic and insight in the world cannot prepare him to operate correctly in the presence of a wonderfully beautiful little girl who moves in just behind his rear fence. How will this magical moment divide Mickey’s life into a “before and after” and permanently change his motion and direct it down the unpaved road to which only a lucky few are granted access?
ISLAND BREEZES
I only made it to the fourth chapter in this book. I was enjoying the characters and the plot, but couldn’t enjoy the language employed. I thought it might get better, and that’s what kept me going through the first three chapters. It didn’t.
I’m sorry, Mr. Flanery. Maybe if you decide to write a book without all the foul language I can become a fan.
