"The Skye in June" -
Not since author Amy Tan's early writings has a woman's voice so strongly
resonated from one of San Francisco's most famous neighborhoods. Ahern's
powerful coming of age tale is a must read for anyone interested in the drama
and complexities of what it might be like growing up psychic. - Jim Toland,
Author of "Fire and Fog"
The MacDonald's emigrate
to San Francisco after a family tragedy. They arrive in one of San
Francisco's best known neighborhoods known now to many as "The
Castro. The girls come of age during the early days of the colorful circa
1960's. This story reaches over three generations of the family and
the challenges they encounter as immigrants in San Francisco and their bond and
how it changes over the years. It is a story of acceptance and reconciliation,
and the world of mysticism. A book for the young and older
reader this story is a slightly veiled autobiography written in a
fictional framework.
June MacDonald,
the red-hired youngest child of the Scottish family, has a
uniqueness that attracts unusual people. Jimmy, the father, is
overbearing, and often cruel to his wife and children. Cathy, the mother, is
lost in her unhappiness and memories of a past sins she cannot
reconcile. June along with her three sisters are lively, funny, and
rebellious as they find ways to deter their father's control over them. The
family implodes when June is drawn into the world of mysticism. Each girl
struggles to rise above Jimmy's abusiveness, while Cathy wavers at protecting
her children or staying under Jimmy's thumb. Ultimately it is June and
Cathy who must resolve the sins of the past and move forward for the family to
heal.
