About This Item
Meet Golden Richards, husband to four women, father to twenty-seven children, who has fallen for the wife of his boss, the menacing owner of a brothel. And meet 12-yr old Rusty Richards, "The Family Terrorist" -- only Brady Udall, a great young writer often compared to John Irving, could make these people matter to us. RH.
Synopsis
"How does a shy, lonely boy from the backwaters of Louisiana become an apostle of God, the husband to four wives, the father to twenty-eight children? Easier than you think." Golden Richards is the rather bumbling patriarch of quite a clan, set in America in 1978. His construction business is in jeopardy, family life is chaotic, and he's beginning a doozy of a midlife crisis. This dramatic story is marbled with a sense of humor and humanity that brings these characters in life.
