Jackson is just a Wal-Mart worker
from Los Angeles, far too caught up in the apathy of modern life to believe in
anything. After spending one night with the daughter of a wood nymph and the
man who surrendered his arm for the woman he loved, the lithesome beauty named
Mari, Jackson knows he believes. And he knows he’ll do anything to find her
again.
He follows her up the coast of
California and a polar bear drives the taxi. Into the forest and through frozen
mountains, he talks to God and creatures of faerie alike but the final
confrontation is with the mother whose people have been wiped out by mankind.
They were wiped out the same way humanity is wiping itself out, with greed and
disregard.
Daughter is more than just a
simple love story because it also poses this question for the reader: Is love
really possible? Can human beings really love each other? How is it possible
for parents who pollute the world they’re leaving behind to say they love their
children? How can we say we look out for each other, even as we divert our eyes
to the homeless we see every day? For, if love isn’t possible, how can Jackson
really say he loves Mari? Faced with proof after proof that it doesn’t exist,
Jackson’s only hope is to somehow prove otherwise.
You can find Daughter of a One-Armed Man at:
