“Louie on the Rocks perfectly captures our divisive era. We all know a Louie—someone who has been changed indelibly by the last several years of politics. O’Brien writes him, and his devastated family, with precision, humor, and grace.”—Erin Somers, author of Stay Up With Hugo Best
“A truly cautionary tale for anyone who worries for the welfare of a vulnerable elder, Louie on the Rocks reads like the real life that Meredith O’Brien chronicled so skillfully in her newspaper days. Narrator Louie’s chapters are interwoven with those bearing the distinct voices and points of view of his gay daughter grieving her mother and trying to do the best for a surviving parent who returns only hatred, and his late wife, who watches from beyond while recounting her life and the parts she played in making both father and daughter who they’ve become, and might yet be.”—Suzanne Strempek Shea, author of several books including Becoming Finola
