THE MOTHER OF MY REINVENTIONessays, stories & lyrical assemblagesRoland Caine, a man lost in retirement, finds his life forever changed by a visiting peahen. Prudie Kayfall, a clumsy, recent widow, struggles to define her purpose against creeping invisibility. Feisty grade-schoolers led by Racie Walker heist a dreaded teacher’s weapon of destruction. The gut-punch of a shattering hit & run ripples over countless lives. Essays shine light on caring for an aging mother, navigating family politics with a loving grandmother’s hand, the value of creating legacy, and our cultural obsession with youth at all costs.After her fourth novel, CHICK SINGER, was published (Sibylline Press, 2025), author and singer/songwriter, Lorraine Devon Wilke, decided it would be a refreshing pivot to pull together some of her favorite shorter works in a compilation book. Included are award-winning essays and short stories, sharp commentary pieces, personal family memoirs, and select lyrics (with anecdotes behind some of her most popular original songs and accessible links to their recorded tracks). Many entries feature her photographs.Each piece is imbued with her unique view of the world; all will hopefully move, provoke, intrigue, and entertain readers and listeners alike.Cover and interior design by LDWFor more information visit www.lorrainedevonwilke.com.
