Driving north to rural Vermont, Avah hopes to untangle the murky history of a family she barely knows. Rumors swirl-- about a long-lost farm, a sawmill accident, and Opa's drinking. As a snowstorm closes in, complications escalate. A neighbor wants to buy Opa's house and flip the lakefront land for profit. Trina, the neighbor's sharp-tongued housekeeper, offers rides, coffee, and companionship-- but she has her own motives. When Avah tracks down her mother, holed up on a bender at the Blue Lion Motel, she catches a glimpse of the girl her mother once was: motherless, broken, still searching. Avah can't forgive decades of drinking-- but empathy stirs. Call It Madness unfolds in the immensity of a frozen Vermont winter, where buried truths rise and endings refuse to follow the script.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brett Ann Stanciu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Regal House Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781646037148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrett Ann Stanciu is the author of UNSTITCHED: MY JOURNEY TO UNDERSTAND OPIOID ADDICTION AND HOW COMMUNITIES CAN HEAL (Steerforth Press, 2021) and HIDDEN VIEW (Green Writers Press, 2015).
