BOOK REVIEW Piper's Someday Written by Ruth Perkinson $14.95; Spinsters Ink; 173 pages
REVIEW BY YASMIN NAIR
Ruth Perkinson's Piper's Someday is her second novel, following Vera's Still Point. At the center is Piper, a 12-year-old who's lost her parents and brother in a car crash and now lives with her grandfather Victor in a decrepit apartment complex. Victor spends most of his days drinking on the couch and this, combined with his incontinence, makes the place reek of alcohol and urine. To make the situation nightmarish, Piper is repeatedly confronted with the lecherous advances of Victor's friend, Crazy Clover.
Piper's only comfort is her dog Someday, a gentle mutt with a bad leg. ...
