Reviews
"In this beautifully crafted novel, tragedies test family bonds while revealing the power of love and the strength and resilience of the human spirit." --Elizabeth McKenzie, author of The Portable Veblen "Against a Southern California backdrop, shifting dynamics in a family are brought into focus in a sensitive story of people set adrift from life''s great tragedies. A clear-sighted, moving, contemporary story of the familial support it takes to bravely move forward, Josie and Vic explores what it takes to heal a shattered self in favor of joining a greater whole." --Claire Fullerton, author of Little Tea "Josie Serafini--tough yet tender--wins us over from the first page in award-winning Debra Thomas''s second novel Josie and Vic . Dealing with layers of anxiety, grief, and loss, Josie shows us that sometimes the longest road home teaches us the most about ourselves. For fans of Ann Patchett, Joyce Carol Oates, and Barbara Kingsolver. A lovely book." --Ashley E. Sweeney, New Mexico-Arizona Book Award winner of Answer Creek " Josie and Vic captured me; I devoured it in two sittings, totally engaged and invested in the characters. An amazing story of love and loss, love and family, love and hope, this heartwarming novel is a compassionate tale of connections and explorations, underlining well-known truths and providing new insights as to how we navigate our worlds." --Romalyn Tilghman, author of To the Stars Through Difficulties "There is so much hope and forgiveness laced throughout Debra Thomas''s examination of a family that has drifted apart and finally learns how to come back together. The imagery in Josie and Vic is equally powerful--from the intertwining roots of the maple trees in the family''s upstate New York home to the glass sculpture reflecting light, music, and energy in Seattle to the vibrant tradition of Día de los Muertos in Southern California, celebrating love, life and remembrance. These characters stayed with me long after the final page. Bravo!" --Mary Camarillo, author of The Lockhart Women "Debra Thomas is a magician. Her artistry and empathy and gentle humor allow Josie and Vic , a novel grounded in the deepest of grief, to shine with hope, with compassion, with the reminder that connection and service offer us paths toward healing. An unforgettable, heart-filled, heart-filling novel." --Gayle Brandeis, author of The Book of Dead Birds , winner of Barbara Kingsolver''s Bellwether Prize" Josie and Vic encompasses personal love, human love beyond borders, and, ultimately, global love, as Madre Tierra''s Turtle Islands slowly move together to create a new Pangaea. A new form and a new hope--the future reimagined." --Alma Luz Villanueva, American Book Award-winning author of Song of the Golden Scorpion and Gracias " Josie and Vic is about transcending tragedy and finding the way back, or the way forward, with the help of those you love--or those who care enough to leave ''blue flags'' along the way. An incredibly touching, heartbreaking story, filled with heart and soul." --Lorraine Devon Wilke, author of The Alchemy of Noise "Debra Thomas is a master at creating complex and believable characters who deal with abandonment issues, tragedy, starting over when all seems lost--and the soul connection between animals and humans." --Kathleen M. Rodgers, author of 2021 WILLA Literary Award Finalist The Flying Cutterbucks "Beautifully crafted and richly detailed, this is a novel with a conscience and something important to say." --Jeannee Sacken, author of Behind the Lens and Double Exposure "With tenderness and empathy, Debra Thomas weaves together decades of family secrets, betrayals, and tragedies. How do you find your way back home after unimaginable loss?" --Eileen Harrison Sanchez, author of Freedom Lessons
