But her ex-husbands linger in the background while her four children spin away to their own separate futures, each carrying the baggage of a complex family history. Matt serves as caretaker to the ailing father who abandoned him as a child, while his wild teenage sister, Karen, hides herself in marriage to a born-again salesman. Joe, a perpetual outsider, struggles with a private sibling rivalry that nearly derails him. And then there's the youngest, Frankie, an endearing, eccentric sci-fi freak who's been searching since childhood for intelligent life in the universe-and finds it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten with wry affection, and with compassion for every character in its pages, \u003ci\u003eSend Me\u003c\/i\u003e is a wholly original, haunting evocation of family love, loss, and, ultimately, forgiveness.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePatrick Ryan\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the novel \u003ci\u003eBuckeye. \u003c\/i\u003eHe is also the author of the story collections \u003ci\u003eThe Dream Life of Astronauts\u003c\/i\u003e (named one of the Best Books of the Year by the \u003ci\u003eSt. Louis Times-Dispatch, LitHub, Refinery 29, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eElectric Literature, \u003c\/i\u003e and longlisted for The Story Prize) and \u003ci\u003eSend Me\u003c\/i\u003e.
