So, how do you handle stress? That's a question you will be asking yourself as you read this
book. When do you walk away from a bad situation and when do you dig your heels into the
ground, push up your sleeves, and hit it straight on with everything you've got? What if you
can't walk away? What if you want to kick your own ass for making a big mess of your life?
Bushpig is a story about a couple who purchases an historic house to renovate while they're in
the midst of coping with several personal issues. Somehow they believe that it will be the
common ground that repairs their crumbling relationship. As the story unfolds, not only does
the couple manage the enormous task of remodeling a house that should've been demolished,
they also have financial difficulties, marriage troubles, neighbor problems, and they are dealing
with the death of a family member. As a result, their lives are turned upside down with stress
and grief. They get to the point of madness at times, trying to handle everything that they've
brought onto themselves. So sit back and allow yourself to imagine being in the same
situation. How much self control could you have in similar conditions? How close to the edge
can you be pushed?

| Trichet Trying to make sense of it all, Mary stared at the ceiling. Outside, she heard crickets chirping and smiled a little thinking about Doc calling her "Trichet". For all I know, I imagined that, too. Unable to sleep, she sat up in bed and looked out the window. She made a wish on a star that she would see her friend again someday. She also wished that her brother was dead. Trichet ISBN 978-1-935271-46-8 201 pages, Softcover, $15.95 |
