GOAT
CHILDREN
A
YA Novel with a touch of Fantasy
When Keziah’s
grandmother, Oma, is diagnosed with dementia, Keziah faces two choices: leave
her family and move to New Winchester to care for Oma, or stay in New York City
and allow her grandmother to live in a nursing home miles away.
The
dementia causes Oma to be rude and paranoid, nothing like the woman Keziah
remembers. Each day becomes a greater weight and love a harsher burden. Keziah
must keep Oma from wandering off or falling, and try to convince her grandmother
to see a doctor as her eyesight and hearing fail, but Oma refuses to believe
anything is wrong. Resentful of her hardships in New Winchester, Keziah finds
herself drawn to Oma’s ramblings about the Goat Children, a mythical warrior
class. These fighters ride winged horses, locating people in need, while
attempting to destroy evil in the world. Oma sees the Goat Children everywhere,
and as Keziah reads the stories Oma wrote about them, she begins to question if
they really exist.

This story
means a lot to me. Many of the events are taken from my own life when I helped
out my grandmother. She was one of my best friends and in many ways, my world.
It still hurts to think about how the dementia made her suffer.
As she would
have said: without further ado, I present the cover for GOAT CHILDREN. The
talented Rue Volley created this cover.
I can’t wait
to share this book with all of you! You can mark it as TBR today on GoodReads.
