Georgia, A New York Story is a character-driven novel that takes the reader on a stimulating, suspenseful, journey filled with humor, sadness, friendship and affirmation. Its engaging stories and quirky characters come together to form an arresting emotional mosaic of survival.
Georgia, a sixty-year-old professor of Musical Theatre and Drama Therapy, heads a colorful but complicated extended family in New York City during the latter half of 2001. Her Chelsea home is a haven for her ever-growing eclectic family of straight and gay friends, students, and neighbors who come and go at will.
Even-keeled, John, Georgia’s younger husband, and Val, their twenty-one year old aspiring videographer daughter, support Georgia’s need to create a safe space with rules and standards where there is never an abandoned soul.
The newest arrivals to this loving household include: forty-year old Horace, a hapless poet desperate to gain acceptance from his dysfunctional family and achieve marriage with an unknown foreign girl he corresponds with via the Internet; nephew Nick, the eight-year-old son of her imperceptive brother and his deceitful, alcoholic wife; and Casey, an intelligent, kind-hearted, terrified teenage runaway, whose dark secret threatens to destroy any chance for future happiness.
Musical theatre and New York historical references are sprinkled throughout this first novel that covers a variety of themes in serious, humorous and visual ways. The story and its characters are psychologically complex and the author addresses the importance of family systems, therapy and creative expression.
Georgia, a New York Story is the perfect choice for book clubs as the characters are multi-generational. Topics for discussion are unlimited and may include: surviving emotional and physical abuse; co dependency; relationships; enabling; coming out; confronting your attacker, and surviving life with humor and love.
