The Big Y

By: Lucy H. Delaney

The Big Y is an intellectual and earthy exploration of land, love, life and death that delights the senses and delivers an unforgettable temporal experience... When one woman unexpectedly goes into labor in a sleepy diner at the edge of The Big Y Ranch & Resort, other patrons must unite to help her. Under the direction of one cool-headed cowboy, strangers work together to keep the young mother calm in the midst of a late winter snowstorm. But just as seasons inevitably change, so too do the strangers... There is a time and season for everything. For these certain strangers fated to meet this stormy winter night, their time has come and everything is about to change... Flickering between the emeralds of the tropics, the brilliance of tulip fields, and the majestic mountains of Central Washington, snapshot memories reveal pivotal, poignant moments in the main characters' lives. More than mere memories, each seasonal snippet is a covert clue as to when and who each story belongs. As the seasons change and time progresses, the snapshots come into focus and ambiguity is replaced with a certainty of who even if not why. Even more enigmatic than who the characters are is how the story is structured. In a world of books with a beginning, middle and end. The Big Y offers the opportunity to read a portion of its pages randomly. Readers can, if they so choose, explore the first three seasons; spring, summer and autumn, and their accompanying chapters in whatever sequence or order they choose. The integrity of the story remains intact no matter when or how the first three seasons and their chapters are experienced. If you like books that play with time and rich, robust portrayals of characters and settings alike, you'll relish the mind and time-bending picture The Big Y paints with the passing of seasons and years.
