Rarity from the Hollow is a chilling children's story. For adults. Lacy Dawn is a troubled young girl. Her best friend has been murdered and her dysfunctional family life is getting her down. When she meets the robot DotCom, AKA Buddy, she gets the opportunity to fix things. But as with any plucky young heroine sent off on a fantastical journey, she must learn a few things about herself--oh, and save the world. Written in a direct and honest style, this witty novel critiques American family values and the failure of the welfare state, while charting the bold triumph of one very unusual hero.

Industry Reviews

'Lacy Dawn's father relives the Gulf War, her mother has lost her teeth, and her best friend is killed by her own father. Life in The Hollow in West Virginia isn't great. But Lacy Dawn has one advantage - she's been befrended by a semi-organic semi-robot (DotCom, alias Buddy) who works with her to 'cure' her parents. Buddy wants something in exchange, though. It's up to Lacy Dawn to save the universe.' - Books for a Buck 'Imagine Wizard of Oz and Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy smashed together and taking place in a hollow in the hills of West Virginia.' - Adicus Ryan Garton, Editor, AtomJack 'quirky, profane, disturbing.' - Missouri Review 'Look in on a dysfunctional family, poverty, child abuse, and the thought processes of a young girl turning the corner from childhood to adolescence, then put them all together in a surreal setting that looks at our society from a distinctly different viewpoint. You'll enjoy the ride with Lacy Dawn and friends and family, but don't expect the ride to be without bumps and enough food for thought to last you a long time.' - Darrell Bain, Bobbing Around
