GWENDOLYN AND EDDIE weaves a poignant and humorous tale of a 1950s housewife whose well-ordered life takes an unexpected turn when her husband brings home a rascally alcoholic monkey he won in a poker game, leading to four decades of unconventional companionship as she is challenged by the unraveling of her domesticdream as well as her conservative beliefs. This is a novel about the cages we are born into, the ones we create for ourselves, and the ones we impose on those we love.
——
“Original, deftly crafted, laced with irony, humor, and the impact of social changes, Gwendolyn & Eddie is a fun, fascinating, and thought-provoking read from start to finish.”
-Midwest Review of Books
“You will not want to put this book down— not only because it is so good, but also because you will want to be there, standing side by side with Gwendolyn, until the very last page.”
-Linda Bloodworth Thomason, creator of Designing Women
“Seabaugh, a skilled psychologist, weaves subtle layers of psychological insight into the narrative without ever slowing its lively pace.”
-David Kirkpatrick, former president of Paramount Motion Pictures
