Tricia Bauer Books Overview

Boondocking

A gentle tale…
giving new shading to the concepts of home and family. Kirkus Reviews starred

Hollywood & Hardwood

Everyone said Lou and Renata’s marriage would burn itself out. A summer stock romance between a playwright and an actress? It’ll fail by November, everyone said, placing their bets during the whirlwind October ceremony. In Tricia Bauer’s vivid and perceptive second novel, Lou and Renata make an effort to survive through New England’s cold winters, the hardscrabble times of their early marriage, and each other’s failures. But it is their shot at success that may finally prove their family and friends right; Lou and Renata’s toughest challenge just might be the heady possibility of Hollywood. Written with humor, honesty, and real emotion, Hollywood & Hardwood is an intense exploration of a couple’s commitment, ambition, and love.

Father Flashes

Father Flashes reimagines what the novel can be or do. Composed of stunning vignettes that capture the deterioration of a father’s mind and body, this novel provides poetic insight into the complex workings of a father-daughter relationship. As the father collapses, what appears is the daughter’s struggle to simply cope. In prose composed of intense and moving shards, Tricia Bauer delivers a revealing account of the gradual decomposition of all that is familiar and of a daughter’s gathering of memories to form the arresting collage that is Father Flashes.
