Who's There?: A Humorous Spiritual Journey in the Southern Crescent

By Sandra Jones Cropsey

"Seemed harmless at first for Momma to keep Bunks amputated leg in the freezer." On a chicken farm in the rural south, Momma, Ivylee, and Sister have a memorial service each day for Bunks amputated leg. Each looks for love and each waits: Momma waits for her husband Bunk to return and claim his severed leg or for God to fetch her home; Ivylee waits for her imaginary lover, Mr. Robinson, to come whisk her away to her "beautiful home in Miami," and Sister waits for relief--relief from running the farm and maintaining the family. When Bunk lost his leg, he lost his ability to reason and became so bizarre he was banned from the house and lives outside in the tool shed much like a family pet, "Precious." Someone knocks at the door, but Mommas spiritual beliefs are not strong enough for her to answer, so she looks for signs in the unusual items that keep appearing on their porch and in their yard. Whos There? is a southern comedy peppered with characters that are funny, sad, absurd, but most of all memorable.
