About This Book
THE BRINKMEYERS - a new novel by Michael Cameron: Hymie Brinkmeyer has some blind spots - like believing his kids can do no wrong, which is foolish as he should know by now that if his seventeen year old son Kevin is busted one more time for possession then he might just have a drugs problem. And he really ought to admit that his nineteen year old daughter Karen is pregnant, unmarried and has no idea who the father is… though it’s apparently not the same guy who got her pregnant last time. Then there’s the lump in his scrotum, which is probably just a cyst â€" and there is Maggie, his English wife â€" she hasn’t slept with him for years, and she seems very close to her psychiatrist, who quite often likes to meet her late at night for a little Freudian analysis over a bottle of wine and a tub of Haagen Dazs... But Hymie’s biggest blind spot has to be about the beautiful Colleen, his motorbike riding, leather-clad, dark haired Irish secretary. She’s loved him for years but Hymie can’t see it. Or maybe he doesn’t want to â€" until one day, when he’s lying in a hospital bed, she comes to visit him and that’s when Hymie falls in love with her too. The question is will he leave Maggie for her? Well, he may not have to, because it seems that Kevin is planning a little matter of matricide â€" and that may solve everyone’s problems. THE BRINKMEYERS - the frightening thing is, your family is probably just like them. (Contains adult content and strong language).
