Floating Along in This Hydroplane

In Scott Christopher Beebe's fifth book, he writes candidly about his relationship with his father, a hard-living, hard-loving, six-time-married, substance abusing, tragic, hilarious, and real deal character named Chester Winfield (Peter, Repeat) Beebe, Jr. Writing with heartfelt, grandiose doses of comedy and rippling, shimmering waves of darkness, Mr. Beebe sets out to capture the spirit of his father, and in turn finds relatability of his own character that they in turn share both in winning as well as in greatly flawed ways. The action found in FLOATING ALONG IN THIS HYDROPLANE skirts between the author's native midwestern states of Illinois and Wisconsin and his father's native land of Rhode Island, and they discover that in both places they feel at once accepted as well as bearing a likeness much likened to aliens.
