Description
Fiction. A brother and sister in Northern California get derailed from their ambitious career paths in art and science when their obsession with a mysterious elderly neighbor propels them to the inside of the sun and beyond. THE BOOK OF GEEZER puts a literary spin on a rollicking tale of young professionals who get caught up in a mystery far more fantastic than they'd anticipated on the night they sneaked into an overgrown house on an island in the middle of a lake.
