Story4.5 out of 5 stars 199
Since Hank Calder's four-year-old niece Josie came to live with him, his life has been plenty dramatic, thank you, and the last thing he needs is a swishy, flaming twinkie to complicate things. But when Justin, the daycare worker at his gym, offers to do something incredibly nice for Hank - and for Josie - Hank is forced to reconsider. Justin may be flamboyant in his speech and gestures, but his heart and kindness are as rock steady and dependable as anyone, even Hank, could ask for.

Sometimes what you think you want, isn't what you really need. As Hank Calder finds out when he is suddenly thrust into parenthood as he takes custody of his 4 year old niece Josie. So the last thing he wants is more drama in his life, by way of very flamboyant, very swishy Justin, the daycare worker at his gym. But what he finds is that love and belonging comes in all shapes and sizes, and a life worth living comes with drama.
I usually love stories by Amy Lane, and this is no exception. This is the bright and sunny side of Amy Lane's story telling. The characters of Hank, Justin and Josie, will suck you right into their world and take you on a whirlwind ride of discovery, joy, enough tension to make it interesting and the happily-ever-after hoped for.

In a town as small as Tyson, CA, everybody knew the four brothers with the four different fathers - and their penchant for making good music when they weren't getting into trouble. For Mackey Sanders, playing in Outbreak Monkey with his brothers and their friends - especially Grant Adams - made Tyson bearable. But Grant has plans for getting Mackey and the Sanders boys out of Tyson, even if that means staying behind.

What is better than small town Rockers making it to the big time? The heart wrenching story of how they got there and issues they have to overcome to continue to thrive. Macky, his band of brothers and their manager have to fight not only the baggage from the demons of the past, but also the ones that come back. Beautifully written, emotionally charged, Ms Lane weaves the the issues of addiction and surviving a traumatic childhood, with the high stress, fast paced lifestyle of celebrity rockers into a complete and satisfying story of love, redemption and hope. One minute you'll be laughing and next in tears, but always needing to know what happens next.
Narrator Nick J. Russo is a master at his craft. His pacing and animation of both the charters and the narrative are superb, bringing to life the book in a whole new way.
