That One Day in August

Some days are just too crazy to be believed. Rebecca Graves has taken one such day from her hometown history and woven diverse events into a colorful tapestry of hilarious misadventures, surprises, and soul-searching developments. When the hippie fair coincides with the Republican annual picnic right across the street, the protagonist tries to pull off a successful sidewalk sale at her local business, and travel-weary Pakistani visitors show up unannounced, the lives of Leni, Hank, Maryka, Dim, Pete, Nancy, Boris, and Halana intersect in wild and wacky ways. Collapsing structures, a pregnancy test that may or may not be positive, and the Grateful Dead dance through this story that takes the reader on a journey of one day but countless changes in attitudes and relationships.
