No One’s Ever Sick In Springfield begins in an unkempt playground in a neighborhood that has seen better days.
It’s 11pm.
Dean Escher is trying to piece his married life together in some meaningful fashion; but outside of his 8-year-old son, he cannot find a true pattern that fits even a cockeyed view of normalcy in his marriage.
Dean is out on an errand (of sorts) for his wife, Rose; but his son is literally a hostage in his own home to his mother. To save his son, Dean has to find within himself the courage to release a decade of indifference and complacence to find his manhood and his self-respect.
His first step? Going back home to face Rose, who has a gun to their son’s head. Join Dean as this one defining night spirals and turns and shows him just how deep the rabbit hole in his wife’s mind really is.
No One’s Ever Sick In Springfield is filled with suspenseful action and truthful characters that are all a bit flawed (read: like real people). You will come away from this book thankful for your “normal” life.
