Opis

Read about the best friend Deborah made when they were five and treasured the different colors of their skin. You'll also learn what happens to Deborah's one-ton pet, the murder she witnessed, the spirit who visited her home one stormy night, her 60-hour labor, the barn cat who refused to leave, the angel who protected Deborah and her toddler son, the final days with her mother, the most prestigious cathedral in the country who turned her away and the woman in the shelter who'd recently had her son taken away. When Ross, Deborah's brother, committed suicide July 4th, 1999, she couldn't let him go. She'd dream of holding onto his ankles while he dragged her through the dusty earth saying, "Debbie, I can't stay here. You need to let me go." Two years after Ross' death, on July 4th 2001, Deborah was listening to Bruce Springsteen's record "The River" when his song "Independence Day" came on. Deborah heard this recording countless times, however, on this sad evening she heard The Boss' lyrics differently. She knew Bruce was speaking to Deborah from her brother's perspective singing, "Just say good-bye, it's Independence Day." These heart-felt stories and 15 more are collected in Deborah's debut memoir, "And Then There Was One."
