The Last Lie... I'm Not Listening Anymore

by Debbie Howard McCartney

Dreams, love, hope, trust, death, and betrayal stain every page. Feelings erupt and spill everywhere. Perhaps some will be familiar. Perhaps their depth and agony will be shockingly clear.

About the Book

Have you ever studied the requirements and qualifications for the position of Turkey Eviscerator Supervisor? Probably not. They are quite specific and complex. Too bad we don't have to measure up to such high standards in our own journey through life. We just muddle and struggle as best we can and try not to get too bogged down in all the extraneous details and assessments thrown at us daily. The obstacles to actual thought and introspection are everywhere.

No time to stop. The Last Lie… I'm Not Listening Anymore is a chance to slow down, and come to a complete stop, if necessary. Savor the life experiences. Unearth the feelings. Some are soft and sentimental. Some have edges so sharp they cut like carving knives. Many images, both real and imaginary, will peck at your consciousness. Some may even demand your attention as a squalling child might. Hopefully the enormity of love and the gargantuan expression of its loss and subsequent pain will awaken some response in you. I do believe a stuffed turkey is an excellent metaphor for life. So… let's gut this bird and see what spills out! Something warm and tasty – Something truly foul. (You may even smile occasionally!) Dig in… and don't choke. I hope you'll want to come back for seconds. Bon Appetit!

About the Author

Born in 1950 and blessed with a love of books, I was raised to think. College taught me to search for the truth in people, politics, religion, and myself. Many peoples' lives are so tangled by external perceptions that their true feelings and experiences become lost. Suppose you could regurgitate your confusion. Some clarity might emerge. That's all I've ever wanted.
