A Strange Little Band - Paperback

by Judith B. Glad (Author)

Every family is dysfunctional in one way or another, but mostly the Blankenships get along in spite of themselves. Cecile, the family matriarch, has invited (read commanded) everyone to a family reunion at the ancestral ranch near Yellowstone. Annie brings inconsolable sorrow, Hetty dreads her parents' reaction to her latest lover, Evan has a secret, and Serhilda wants to be anywhere else. With four generations living in each others' pockets, everyone expects bickering, spats, hurt feelings, and perhaps a few secrets finally revealed. When the week is over, even Cecile wonders if the reunion brought the family closer together, as she had hoped, or created rifts so great that they'll never be mended.

Author Biography

Judith B. Glad writes mostly romance because she believes every story should have a happy ending, even if it requires two or three hankies to get there. After growing up in Idaho, Judith now lives in Portland, Oregon, where flowers bloom in her yard every month of the year and snow usually stays on the mountains where it belongs. It's a great place to write, because the rainy season lasts for eight months-a perfect excuse to stay indoors and tell stories. When she's not writing, Judith is riding her bicycle, messing about in the kitchen, editing other people's books or creating prize-winning cover art. Visit Judith's webpage at www.judithbglad.com to learn more about all her books, in several genres--because she can't make up her mind which she enjoys writing the most.
