Bingo Under the Crucifix
Novel by Laurie Foos
Jump
on the joyride with Laurie Foos as she puts the fun
back into dysfunctional.
The
twisted, eccentric characters in Laurie Foos's hilarious,
metaphor-stretching novel are ripped straight from today's
headlines. Chloe, a doll maker famous for her line of
Bingo Ladies, must save her adult brother, a man who
has literally become an infant at the news of his impending
fatherhood. Now it's up to Chloe to deliver him back
into the world of grown-ups.
Meanwhile,
as the local homecoming queen is headed for her royal
crowning she suddenly gives birth to a bouncing, ten
pound baby boy who promptly disappears. With the media
on their doorstep and the threat of jail looming over
their daughter, the homecoming queen's family asks Chloe
to make a doll to replace the missing infant.
This
absurd and comic fable about family dysfunction, faith,
luck, and our media-saturated culture strikes at the
bittersweet heart of our worldly responsibilities gone
haywire.
