Miss Mediocrity (Paperback)


In a story written by the author in semi-autobiographical overtones, we move with Kathryn Pierce through the tangled web of Post Abortion Sydrome. A decision to abort made twenty-five years earlier finds Kathryn clutching tightly to a haunting she is only too willing to claim. Her forty-fifth birthday marks that turning in her life, when her anguish demands a reckoning with more than one spirit from her past. Leaving home to look again for all that eludes her, Kathryn meets up with Seth and his friends Mitchell and Perry, three homosexual boys with answers to the kind of questions that an injured psyche asks.A woman wears her womb on the inside of her soul, not tucked up insider her body, not where the specialists and the doctors think they can see what's going on. Overshadowed by the heart, the womb waits to be inhabited, waits for that tenancy that equals everything for which it was create. There is no tampering with that private place that does not etch the deed upon the woman, marking her in ways unsearchable, where even God cannot go in the hopes of having the slightest effect.
