Description:
<DIV><B>A San Francisco family copes with a teenage son&rsquo;s mental illness in &ldquo;a wonderful book, with characters that bounce off the page&rdquo; (Elizabeth Strout).</B><BR /><BR /> Named a Best Book of the Year by <I>Newsday </I>and the <I>San Francisco Chronicle</I><BR /> &#160;<BR /> In this &ldquo;profound, heart-wrenching, and resonant&rdquo; Lambda Award&ndash;winning novel, a quintessentially modern family is transformed by the mental breakdown of their adolescent son (Francisco Goldman).<BR /> &#160;<BR /> When Christopher disappears from his San Francisco home, his extended family comes together in a frantic search. But the sixteen-year-old is in much more trouble than they know, and their attempts to both support and save him will challenge their assumptions about themselves and one another. In &ldquo;unflinching prose that&rsquo;s both descriptive and soulful,&rdquo; Stacey D&rsquo;Erasmo explores the ways in which love moves us to actions that have both redemptive and disastrous consequences&mdash;sometimes in the same heartbeat (<I>Time Out New York</I>).<BR /> &#160;<BR /> &ldquo;Open <I>A Seahorse Year</I> and be mesmerized,&rdquo; raved the<I> Advocate</I> of this exquisitely crafted novel that is &ldquo;both deeply satisfying and quietly subversive&rdquo; (<I>The New York Times Book Review</I>). A winner of the Ferro-Grumley Award for Fiction and other honors, <I>A Seahorse Year</I> is &ldquo;a stunning achievement&rdquo; (Suzan Sherman).<BR /> &#160;<BR /> &ldquo;[D&rsquo;Erasmo] writes with a graceful, sometimes devastating directness, in clear, crisp phrases lined with subtle lyricism.&rdquo; &mdash;<I>The Boston Globe</I><BR /> &#160;<BR /> &ldquo;Alternating perspectives and controlled, nuanced writing bring depth and compassion to each character&#160;.&#160;.&#160;. [and] make D&rsquo;Erasmo an author to watch.&rdquo; &mdash;<I>Library Journal</I><BR /> &#160;<BR /> &ldquo;After turning a page or two of <I>A Seahorse Year</I> you&rsquo;ll know you&rsquo;re into something special.&rdquo; &mdash;<I>Out</I> magazine</DIV>
