Download or read book Loose Screws written by J. M. Powers and published by . This book was released on 1999-09-01 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Loose Screws reads as an autobiography, it is fiction. While the plot is derived from their personal experiences, it is really everyone's lives as seen through multi-hued lenses of humor, tragedy, poverty, and chemical alteration. The cities of Burlington, Iowa, and Nashville, Tennessee, are real places. The sisters have lived in both places and only used these locales as the settings for Loose Screws out of fondness for both places. The book was written for anyone who ever had to share a teabag, exist on tuna fish casserole for more than two weeks, and dig through an ashtray for a smokeable cigarette butt. It will also answer the questions often asked by the well-off as to how the other half lives. Loose Screws proves that poverty can be funny, enlightening, and a learning experience. Not once is the poverty treated as a handicap, but merely a temporarily diseased state. Set in 1972, Loose Screws is the fictional account of two sisters, Joyce and Lizzie, who are ten years apart in age. They each take turns narrating the comedic, moving, and sometimes strange story that starts with abusive parents and ends with restored self-worth and the knowledge that a loving, supportive family does not have to include a mother and a father, or much money. Joyce is twenty-six, a single parent, and independent. She is divorced and lives in Iowa with her small daughter Robin. Although she works, Joyce supplements her income with welfare and food stamps. Joyce becomes the keeper of her sister Lizzie after she rescues the teen from a detention center where their uncaring parents have placed her. Joyce's bond has been with Lizzie since childhood, so she willingly accepts the responsibility of her sister, although Lizzie is fresh from the unloving and tumultuous household from which Joyce had escaped years before. Whereas Joyce is fairly settled, 16-year-old Lizzie is not. Lizzie embarks on a search for happiness and sense of self that keeps her moving from place to place, person to person. Joyce understands Lizzie's problems and gives her free rein, knowing that it is a journey of self-discovery. At one point, Lizzie gets involved with drugs and alcohol. Joyce's confrontation with her is a bit of tough love that makes both of them aware that, while the past was painful, they are now their own family unit, their own support. This becomes evident when their parents visit, condemning and maligning their lifestyle. Joyce and Lizzie, perhaps for the first time, have a united loving front that both confuses and angers the parents. Intertwined in this saga are amusing situations the sisters fall haplessly into; a string of men that have answered Joyce's "room to let" ad, a neighbor that offers to improve Joyce and Lizzie's financial situation by introducing them to prostitution, a woman who insists her husband has fathered puppies, and a would-be rapist. These incidents, coupled with living on the edge of poverty, result in Joyce and Lizzie's viable journal. The two women are individuals with their own opinions about each other and everything around them. While the sisters who wrote this work have drawn upon some experiences in their past, this is a work of fiction and none of the events should be viewed as having any relationship to any person, living or dead. The timeliness of subjects such as child-abuse, teen sex and women's struggles in a disposable society blend well with the traditional

Book excerpt: In the space of a few hours, thirty-year-old Ginger Petrocelli had gone from bride-to-be to bride-who-never-was. So here she sat, alone in her cramped apartment, wedding crinolines askew, drowning her sorrows in a hundred-dollar bottle of Veuve Cliquot, when her doorbell rang. And her trip to hell in a handbasket was about to escalate. At the door: Nick, Ginger's "first." Only, he's a police officer now, and he wants to find out what she knows about her M.I.A. congressman fiancé. When was the last time she'd seen him? She'd better not leave town…. And the spiral continues: her cozy little sublet (really, she liked having her shower in the kitchen) is about to be yanked away, and the prestigious little design firm where she works is about to go belly-up. So what's a girl to do? Her answer, born of desperation: move in with her crazy, widowed mother—who Ginger claims sucks the life force out of every creature within one city block of her—and her grandmother, who spends much of her day engaged in heated arguments with her dead husband. Well, it's a plan. But bizarrely, as the summer progresses, her eccentric but lovable relatives give her the courage to make choices based on what she wants, not what she wants to avoid.
