About Bessers & The Rolling Stone:
When an accident leaves Gina’s dysfunctional, alcoholic father in a coma, she’s shocked to be called upon as next of kin. She hasn’t had contact with him for seven years, and she’s seen him only twice in the last twenty. With conflicted emotions, she leaves her young family in Florida and travels to Wisconsin to be at the side of the man she adored as a child – the one who loving called her Bessers – but who nevertheless abandoned her at age sixteen. Knowing she’s not the only one her father left behind, she calls on her three younger siblings from his other failed marriages – a brother who’s incarcerated, another who just got out, and a sister who’s never met her brothers or their father. Might Gina’s long-held hope to bring together the fragments of her family be realized? Could this twist of fate, instead of further breaking her heart, perhaps help to heal it?
