Slipping-Down Life

Evie Decker is a shy, slightly plump teenager with a distant father and hours and hours of silence to fill. Then one night she hears local rock singer Drumstrings Casey on the radioand becomes instantly attracted to his cool, motionless voice. Evie learns that Drumstrings frequently plays at a dingy roadhouse called The Unicorn. So she goes there and, with an uncharacteristically bold gesture, bursts out of her lonely shelland into the attentive gaze of an intangible man who becomes all too real. . . .Tyler, Anne is the author of 'Slipping-Down Life', published 2004 under ISBN 9780345478146 and ISBN 0345478142.
