Meet Me On The Paisley Roof - Giveaway

November 19, 2009

Meet Me on the Paisley Roof by Murray Tillman

Trussell Jones has a big problem. He is crazy in love with a beautiful girl named Ellen. The problem? He has no car. His stepmother, Loretta, who believes that she is spiritually connected to Queen Victoria, won't let him drive. Furthermore, she is afraid Trussell is trying to kill her and arms herself with a rigid set of rules and a .38.

Trussell's problems mount as he is pursued by armed, redneck motorcycle hoods, while his buddies, stumbling through their own lives as well as Trussell's, draw on visions of St. Francis and Jimmy Durante to pull off their best prank of all on Trussell. Meanwhile, Trussell overcomes his fear of contacting the girl of his dreams and begins a budding romance with a walking date to their elementary school playground. Just another heartwarming tale of a boy in love with a girl? Hardly.

This quirky, laughable coming-of-age story is set in Columbus, Georgia in the 1950s. It will take you on a road trip of hits, near misses, twists, and sudden turns that will set you on your ear. Its irreverent protagonist discovers that the road to adulthood is paved with gain and loss, humor and heartache. (from the publisher)
