And Still Her Voice - Paperback

by Ruthie Marlenée (Author)

A wildly original, soul-stirring ride through the Summer of Love...

It's Easter, 1967, when Anna LeMar, a lonely half-Mexican teen, stabs her father and runs away, but she's not alone. Grandma Phoebe, her dead white grandmother, has colonized her brain and hitched along in a mental sidecar for the ride of their lifetime. Anna has also inherited Grandma's musical talent and so reluctant travel companions, they navigate the world with Anna's guitar strapped to her back and the knife she used on her father strapped to her leg.

On the road, Anna encounters all sorts of characters and begins to discover her own voice as she searches for a way to cut the strings that bind her to Grandma Phoebe. Set during the Summer of Love and the tumultuous 60s, this coming-of-age speculative story chases history through Anna's adventures and quest for love. A generational family drama, it's also a story of mothers, daughters, granddaughters, and the ties that bind us for generations.
