In chapter one of Bedtime Stories,
narrator
Jake Spinner says, "With Fred's death the
few remaining things holding me
to one place suddenly departed and my urge
to go took on a life of its own." Jake's new life begins with the death of
his guardian uncle, Fred, whose care for his nephew may not have ended with
his death. Fred leaves Jake some money,
keys to a large truck, and a note
urging him to get on with his life. Fred's bequest catalyzes Jake's
hereditary
wanderlust when a beautiful Parisian circus painter transforms
the truck into a magnificent rolling theater and Jake
takes up life on the
road. Living out of his exotic truck, cinematic gypsy Jake moves across a
mythic landscape
fulfilling his purpose in life that, "Movies are the
stories of my time and I use them to light the eyes of those around me." An
astounding cast of characters makes sure that Jake's purpose will not only
bring light to others, but deliver him
to an awareness of his own origins and heart's calling.
Bedtime Stories
is a story of how life can be a remarkable voyage when freed from the
restraints of gravity and time. It is a richly imaginative novel filled
with people, places, and stories drawn from a seldom-revealed America,
and
one that can be read and read again before falling off to a gentle sleep.
