Fiction. "Eleazar Goldsmith is an overweight orphan wallowing in adolescence and with a hopeless crush on the sweet, young Thessaly, hostess of the Uncle Wiggly TV show, when he discovers that he is heir to the family curse. Demons suddenly encroach on his world and a mysterious green Hudson, much like the one that forced his beautiful, French mother and buffoon father off the road and to their deaths, lurks at the edges of his life. Eleazar, now almost 30 and a mass of tics and neuroses has responsibilities. He has married the beautiful Thessaly who confesses to him that she had, at the tender age of 14, carried on an affair with the middle-aged Uncle Wiggly. GOLDSMITH'S RETURN is a rollercoaster ride of wild events, unique characters, and page-turner plot points. Terrific nonstop reading!"—Midwest Book Review
