The Guest House Chronicles

By JT DeBold

From the author of "Life Times Nine", Falling Hard in Hollywood", "Class Imperfect", "Eight Founding Queens" --- For Burt and his mother, the adversities and blessings of life are acted out with each tenant occupying their modest guest house. The lives of those around them are often difficult but never ordinary. Some are kind and some are hardened souls in need of recovery before it's too late. For others, it's already too late and it shows. Burt's transition from a twenty-something recluse with a justifiable reason is followed through to his late-life celebration of unexpected love. His multi-decade journey is challenged by the struggles of his tenants as Burt does his best to help them persevere or to move-on. From the entertainer who fell hard from stardom into the depths of alcoholism to the murderous femme fatale who is trying to survive by illicit means. From the man who hides behind a wife to avoid his sexual orientation to the racial strife of mid-century life. From the mother who finds love through her garden to the daughter she lost.These nine overlapping stories are derived from shreds of truth and fragments of fiction. They will lead you on a colorful journey and mystery as to which is which. As the stories unfold, hold close to the fact that the person or premise may have once, or still, exists.
