I was halfway done with unloading the fill dirt out of the back of hubby’s truck, and feeling completely drained, when out of the corner of my eye I say it. A FROG! The cutest tiny little frog hopping across the mound of dirt that I had been shoveling for the past two hours. I don’t have little frogs in my yard, so where did this little guy come from? The excitement of seeing the little dust covered critter made me completely forget how exhausted and in pain I was. I screamed for the baby bassets to grab a plastic cup, and the chase was on. All three of us were laughing and chasing a frog across the yard. Quick little bugger. We got him in the cup and quickly took him to the backyard to set him free in the shade garden. A much better place than a dry dusty dirt mound. Once the excitement faded I went right back to being tired and slow. But what a fun little surprise that was.

When Jack embarks on a road trip in 1996 from New York to Los Angeles, his past confronts him. As he zooms alone down the highways, the solitude forces him to wrestle with his trauma and the very meaning of existence. All of Jack’s misadventures, heartache, and discoveries lead him to his big epiphany at the end of the first novel: Love. Love will see us through. Love’s the trick. It’s all we have in this mad world.Ostraca is the first novel in Duggan’s Odyssey USA series.
