Beaming Sonny Home (2014)
“Then, for no reason, she had decided not to plant a garden for the first time in thirty-four years. Next, Elmer and his dog, Skunk, had disappeared, as if into one of those black holes scientists talked about on television, thanks to that big Hubble telescope, an apparatus Lola Monihan would dearly love to own. And then Sonny Gifford, her only boy, had turned up on Channel 4. Now it seemed Sonny was everywhere. Theresa had called to say that she’d seen a news clip on CNN, way down there in Conn...ecticut. And now Mattie could almost feel the air around Mattagash growing tense, the way it does before a storm, or a big woods fire, or a flood. Something was breaking, like the ice in the spring river. Something was on the wing. And it all had to do with Sonny Gifford barricading himself in a trailer with two women and a dog. No, it was more than just that. It was Sonny the actor, the best-looking man in Mattagash since his father, Lester Gifford, had made his exit. It was Sonny courting those damn news teams, as though the eyes of those cameras were the dark, loving eyes of women.MoreLess
