Patti Frazee’s great wisdom is in knowing that coming of age doesn’t stop with adolescence. In Out of Harmony, secrets from the past and present collide to force Frazee’s mid-life protagonist, Alison Bouchard, to take stock of her life. With humanizing detail, a judicious sprinkling of wit, and a sweeping sense of place from Minneapolis to a small Nebraska town to New Orleans, Frazee’s probing work is an ode to the power of the imagination and the ongoing quest for identity. Anyone who has struggled to rethink who you are and what you know will resonate. And cheer.
--Pamela Carter Joern, author of The Floor of the Sky and The Plain Sense of Things
A marvelous epic poem, a spectacular painting, a magnificent read for everyone who has ever dreamed about juggling fire, spinning in space, or falling in love with the girl on the flying trapeze. It's an elegant immigrant tale of the most migical kind!
--Judith Katz, author of The Escape Artist and Running Fiercely Toward a High Thin Sound |
