Strays - Paperback

by Gilda Povolo (Author)

It is 1991, just before the start of the first Gulf War, when Cecelia Regalo and her sometime-love Christopher encounter Cecelia's long-lost, distant cousin, Kenny, and his fourteen year old daughter, Mandi. In their teens, in the shadow of the Vietnam War, the orphaned Kenny came to live with Cecelia's family, and their brief history together might have changed the trajectory of both their lives. Now, with the background music of the sixties, the history of wars and peace, love and loss, home and homelessness, the lives of these four people will be tested again, to see who has strayed and how far from where they belong, and from who they thought they were or could be.
