Description

Icy Sparks by Gwyn Hyman Rubio. 'A funny, sad, and transcendent story of a young girl's growing up in Appalachia that introduces a fresh, quirky new Southern Voice. Rural Kentucky in the 1950s is not an easy place to grow up in, and its especially hard for a ten-year-old Icy Sparks, an orphan who lives with her grandparents. Life becomes even more difficult Icy when violent tics and uncontrollable cursing begin - symptoms brought on by a troubling affliction that goes undiagnosed until her adulthood. Icy's adolescence is marred by the humiliation of her illness, and its all-too-visible signs are the source of endless mystery and hilarity as everyone around her offers an opinion about what's troubling the girl.' The book has light to medium general wear with creasing of the covers and age stains down the page edges. The binding remains tight and the book most readable.
