Welcome to Rocky Tank Town

Out of character

Out of reach

Out of touch

Out of the blue

Walking away from any smile

Wondering how to write the perfect Ode to you

Childhood is like lightning in a bottle, stored in the depths of this empyrean cocoon of memory, destined to eventually, inevitably become this dusty, fading abstract, chimerical mirage.

Martial Sillons and May Sissy Misniwill meet in Rocky Tank Town in 1968. Their stories move between those early days and 2012. They move away from each other, and back together. They feel the impact of their formidable mothers, Mindy, and Marcia. The book shows how their lives take drastic turns, including an encounter with a bear!

Welcome To Rocky Tank Town is a poetic ballad-like coming-of-age love letter to childhood, motherhood, and nostalgia.
