Good and Bad Days

"It was a beautiful day, the day my Daddy died." That astonishing first sentence jolts you into the narrative of egocentric child, Ida March. Unawares, Ida reveals to the reader what she doesn't know about herself. She nearly convinces the reader that she is a discerning observer of the way the world works; until one by one, the pieces add up to an undeniable truth. Serial traumatic abandonments have spawned a psychosis. One marked by magical thinking: the belief that what you wish or think can cause what really happens. What ensues when the child loses all control? Part allegory, part psychological case study. Whimsical colored pathology. One egocentric life, one geocentric death. Prize winning author, and powerful literary composer, Tia M. Stocks, has lured an enthusiastic following.
