OSAGE COUNTY KIDSThe bond of a brother and sister that begins on an Oklahoma farm in the fifties mysteriously extends beyond death. You will first howl with laughter, then wipe a tear from your cheek.
"Two eyes appeared, barely visible in the darkness of the drainpipe. When the face broke into light, it wasn't a rabbit, but the pointed nose of a skunk, Bub had his stick started in a swing before he realized what he was about to hit. He let the stick go spinning into midair. The skunk came shuffllng out of that drainpipe fairly unconcerned. Unfortunately for us all, both dogs dived into the poor skunk." "Run, Sissy, run ..." This true story set on an Oklahoma farm in the fifties, is written for kids from nine to ninety. The front cover gives you a glimpse of The Osage County Kids. Lou Dean (Sissy) is on the far right standing next to Sis, who is holding Nibs, one of the family's many canine companions. On the left is older brother, Bub, with Lil Bub in his arms. Playing in the background, are the two oldest kids, Mama and Dad.
From the Author: If you live or ever have lived in Osage County, Oklahoma and recognize your name in these pages, don't be alarmed. The Statute of Limitations has run out on the events that took place.
Reviews: Osage County Kids reads a bit like Huckleberry Finn, with each chapter introducing a new adventure, but with a serious undercurrent. In Twain's case it was slavery: in Dean's case it is disintegration of her family and ultimately, her parents' divorce." Jennifer Bartlett - Steamboat Today
