This superbly written novel held me spellbound as the suspense built in an intensely escalating emotional battle of wills between the main character, thirteen year old Petie, his fragile mother and his overbearing granddad. The characters are richly portrayed and intricately woven together to tell a story that had an end so explosive it left me breathless. Trisha - review Amazon.com USA.

Hot dogs under The Dakota.
Feedback from reader;
You are a wonderful storyteller and have captured your twelve-thirteen year old main character Petie's mind set very, very well. I am still in suspense as to the mystery that ties his Mother, Grandfather and him in such an intense emotional battle of wills at times. This is a good book and a great read.
