Don't Call Me Jupiter — Book Two "Lightning Crashes": Memoir of a Reluctant Hippie Kid

In 1996, a suspicious death shatters the fragile peace Tom Bross has built, dragging him back into the chaos of his dysfunctional, hippie family.

Tom, a lifelong bachelor with the charm of a geeky Don Draper, is suddenly confronted with a family crisis that dredges up old wounds. As the Bross family grapples with the fallout from this tragedy, they’re pulled back into the chaos of their hippie lifestyle. Questions swirl: Was it murder, drugs, abuse, or something else? And most pressing—who will care for the two boys left behind?

In this second book Lightning Crashes , the family must face the shadows of their past and decide if they can finally break the cycle of abandonment. The stakes have never been higher, and the choices they make now will reverberate for generations.

If you were moved by the candid storytelling in The Glass Castle , the raw emotion in A Child Called “It” , and the dark humor in Running with Scissors , then Don't Call Me Jupiter: Book 2 is a must-read.
