The Red Sheep is a story set among the challenges faced by families as they deal with aging, mortality, religion, and relationships. Jessica, an only child, was immersed in a stable and supportive family life but it did not hide the fact she was different, and she saw the world differently. As a child she questioned her being. As a teenager she sent her mother in search of answers. As an adult she learned to accept life was what she could make of it.
Jessica’s journey was filled with the childhood joy of having special grandparents. When Pop and then Nan passed away, it was her youthful logic that helped her cope with their loss. With Pop’s views of an afterlife deeply embedded in her outlook, Jessica explored her background with conviction. The answers she found highlighted how unique she was.
The story will make you laugh. It will make you cry. It will make you question the world around you. It will cause you to marvel at the extraordinary lives led by everyday ordinary people.
