Author Talk: Home Hickam

Description

is the story of a classic love triangle. Homer (the author?s father) loves Elsie. Elsie (the author?s mother) loves Albert. Simple. Except there?s a difference to this ménage à trois, a rather large, scaly one. Albert is, well, an alligator. This is a story about Elsie and Homer?s epic adventure with the alligator named Albert (and, for no apparent reason, a rooster), where everything is true, except the bits that are made up. Told with the warmth and down-home charm that made Rocket Boys a beloved bestseller, Homer Hickam?s rollicking novel is truly a testament to that strange and marvelous emotion we call love. Hickam will have his books for sale and signing that evening as well.
