A THEORY OF EXPANDED LOVE, Chapter One

Audiobook!

Trapped in her enormous, devout Catholic family in 1963, Annie Shea creates a hilarious campaign of lies when the pope dies and their family friend, Cardinal Stefanucci, is unexpectedly on the short list to be elected the first American pope.

Chapter One we meet Annie as she realizes her shot at stardom begins unexpectedly.

Hicks adopts Annie’s precocious voice skillfully and draws from it self-effacing humour, spiritual bargaining and enough charm to fill the corridors of Vatican City twice over.” – Foreward Reviews

 

A THEORY OF EXPANDED LOVE is my first novel, the fictionalized story of an enormous family of Catholics in Pasadena, in 1963. Here are some early reviews of this popular book

KENNEDY GIRL takes place five years later, 1968, in Southern California during the turmoil of the late Sixties and takes a journey up the coast of California to Canada during the Vietnam War. The novel is on its own journey towards being published; thereafter I will be creating an audiobook.
