The Moon in Deep Winter
by Lee Polevoi

$0.99
Kindle Edition published 2008-01-10
Bestseller ranking: 460964

Product Description
This literary thriller revolves around Parker Sloane. When he returns from a dismal foray into third-world cash-smuggling to his childhood home in the woods of New England, it seems he’s seeing his country and his blended stepfamily for the first time—and finding both just as twitchy, desperate, paranoid and unpredictable as the underworld types he thought he’d escaped.

Before he can even unpack, Parker goes head-to-head with his relatives—his tyrannical stepfather, seething younger brother, newly evangelical mother, and his alluring younger half-sister Rita—and with the demons they never exorcised.

Delicately but disastrously, Parker attempts to keep his family from imploding, unaware that they have their own plans for escape. The Moon in Deep Winter combines the dark comedy of the Coen brothers with the doomed lyricism of Denis Johnson, creating an airtight world of homicidal family dysfunction.

Oh maybe that was Momma that squawked.  It was really loud!  I wasn't watching as I was typing, LOL.

What was that that Papa brought them to eat?  That was gross.  That is one reason I do not really like Eagles as they swoop down and steal small dogs like yorkies, of which I have one.  And I know a couple people this has happened to.  So sad.  Deb, did you read the Eagle facts on the page?  Ten to twelve weeks til fledgling flight.  And Eagles are 30 to 40 inches full grown with a wing span of 8 feet I think it said.  That's enormous.

Oh my gosh, three more months of being addicted to this site? 
I've seen the parents eating fish, but I don't know what they've been feeding Stormy.

Well, the parents switched places and Stormy just got fed and tucked in. I think Pop is on the nest now, at least he looked larger to us here. I have hooked all of my library staff and they all want me to call them whenever something is happening - we all agree that Stormy is a great name - will work with boy or girl!

Except they say the female is larger than the male.  I can't keep them straight!

I they are feeding him pretty often.  I love to watch that.  I also love the way they wiggle a certain way after they get in the hole.
Paula, really getting hooked now.

I'm wondering if they are building up the nest around so Stormy doesn't fall out.  I see they've added a few layers of larger sticks.

I saw one fussing with a big stick earlier.  You might be right, Deb

No, I didn't.  Was it very big?  Isit all gone/eaten up now?  I think that might have been most of a squirrel they just brought.  It's hard to tell, since it's all black and white.

It's laying there, slightly to the right of the pole, perhaps an inch from it. 
I was thinking it looked like about half a fish, but it's so hard to really tell.
Maybe it is a squirrel.

I think what I saw yesterday was a squirrel or other 4 legged critter.

The parents have built the nest up around the baby, and with the sun shining it's making it hard to see Stormy today.

They're not covering Stormy so much anymore.  Just sitting by him in the nest.  I have missed when they bring food to the nest.
He's not so wobbly anymore! Smiley

I heard the chick peeping as I walked back into the room (naturally I was taking care of laundry when the food arrived) so I had to stop and see what was going on.  Turned out to be a feeding session going on.  I watched until the adult settled back on the nest.
