The Blue Bitch - Paperback

by Normandi Ellis (Author)

The Blue Bitch is a collection of short stories that examines family patterns of misunderstanding, love, and forgiveness. The narrator, a daughter and single mother, often finds herself torn between her affection for her aging parents, her attempts to reconcile a sometimes painful childhood, and her grown up responsibilities to her child and her work. The stories in The Blue Bitch try to answer the question of how to negotiate being an artist, daughter, parent and family member when the demands of care-tending increase with age. The questions are many, but the ultimate answer is that home is a state of mind.
