Patchwork of Me eBook Gregory G Allen
I love that Sara, the main characters plan for dealing with her bad relationships, her constant explainable skin rash on her arm and her weird dreams of being a married man with a small female child is Denial and Lying to her therapist and her friends about her family, who she is and her life history. AND it's all going really well for a while at least - until she meets Samara the psychic from whom she simply can't hide.Once Sara decides she can't hide from her past anymore, she decides to uncover it and finally figure out what's down there- who is she really and where did she come from? She takes a life changing journey with her two gay male friends - who I really enjoyed and her snippy little Asian friend.
The topics covered are heavy - as in multiple murders and child abuse, but we have so much light hearted fun throughout the book that the story is a delightful read.
Great story of a very realistically flawed person surrounded by her flawed, but loving friends trying to make sense out of her life. Very well written.

Patchwork of Me eBook Gregory G Allen Reviews
I really wish friends had read this book. I wasn't sure I wanted to continue after the first or second chapter. You see, it had been resting on my for quite some time before I got to it. I forgot why I had selected it. Other reviewers are spot on, saying the characters are multi dimensional and each has his own burden. I think I purchased the ebook because there was a road trip to Maine, my adopted home state. The story is realistic, the characters are flawed yet endearing. I made plenty of connections. I feel I will be relieving the story in my head for some time to come.
This was a funny, heartwarming book about a woman with demons of her past haunting her dreams and keeping her from moving forward successfully in life. Sara has no known biological family but her "gay Mafia" of dearest friends.
She begins a journey to put the pieces of her past together and discover who she is--so she can leave the heartache in the past and move forward.
This book is really funny, especially the sarcastic voice that speaks inside her mind. The topic is serious but not tearfully heart wrenching. I loved that the author did not wrap things up perfectly, that the groundwork was laid for Sara to continue to improve her life but it still left a happy feeling.
Thirty years ago I turned in a portfolio to my high school creative writing class and called the collection of short stories and poetry, "Patchwork Me." That is the main reason this book caught my attention. I had no idea what it was about or who Gregory G. Allen was. There were things about this book other than the title that made me feel like it was somehow connected to me, my husband is a Gregory, my Mom is a Priscilla, I've done foster care, I have a mysteriously itchy elbow. I love show tunes and have been hypnotized and some of my best friends are gay men and road trips always lead me home and I passionately believe in creating your own family.
I don't know what genre this dang story is and it wouldn't let me put it down and kept surprising me along the way. Don't know what to tell you of the plot without giving away the surprises. Just read it. I am glad I did.
Sara Butler is a young woman with many secrets and struggles. Having an invisible rash that refuses to go away, she goes to therapy only to lie about her tough childhood. But her dreams haunt her, and she eventually gives in to her overwhelming need for answers.
I loved this book! Admittedly, this was one of those books I picked up on a free day that sat on my for a long time. I had no idea what it was about (or why I even had it, although I'm sure there was a reason). A few weeks ago, I was going through my kindle looking for something to read and the cover caught my eye, so I gave it a try without knowing anything about the story. Several hours later, I still couldn't put it down. The emotions - WOW - the way the characters were fleshed out, the writing, everything about this book was spot on and expertly crafted. I've since picked up (and read) another book by this author. I'm a big fan!
I am so thrilled I chose this book to read. It had everything -- suspense, mystery, craziness, dreams, visions, tenderness and a marvelous revealing journey. Sara Butler is a 33-year old woman who has not found the right man to fulfill her life. She denies herself from even looking anymore and is very withdrawn from people. Except for three doting, compassionate, loving -- oddball friends! Sara was raised by several foster families in New Mexico. None of the homes provided love as she moved through several of them. When she turned 18, she quickly packs her meager possessions and moves to Arizona to build a life. She has one dream that frequents her mind and makes her wonder what the dream means. She starts having daytime visions, not knowing how to interpret them. She goes regularly for six months to a psychologist, but feeds him only lies and wonders why. She comes to the edge of the cliff where she thinks she is approaching insanity. But at a Halloween party, a woman from San Francisco who is visiting one of her friends, and is a psychic, approaches her and offers her a reading. Thus Sara starts to open the closed door of her childhood that she cannot recall. She begins to open up to her doctor who hypnotizes her several times and helps her make a decision to seek out answers. Sara decides to journey from Arizona to Maine, by car, in December, with her friends to find those answers. Will she find them? Will knowing her history impact her life? Will she find further grief or will she repair her tattered life? This is the third book I've read by extremely talented Greg Allen. I could not put this book down, even carrying my to Einstein's coffee shop this morning to finished the last ten percent. Warning Do not finish reading this book in a public place. I was sobbing, tears rolling down my cheeks...I was so moved with joy for Sara. You have to know I want to hug this author for the feelings he so well instilled in all the characters in this moving story. I highly recommend this book as a 'must-read.'
I love that Sara, the main characters plan for dealing with her bad relationships, her constant explainable skin rash on her arm and her weird dreams of being a married man with a small female child is Denial and Lying to her therapist and her friends about her family, who she is and her life history. AND it's all going really well for a while at least - until she meets Samara the psychic from whom she simply can't hide.
Once Sara decides she can't hide from her past anymore, she decides to uncover it and finally figure out what's down there- who is she really and where did she come from? She takes a life changing journey with her two gay male friends - who I really enjoyed and her snippy little Asian friend.
The topics covered are heavy - as in multiple murders and child abuse, but we have so much light hearted fun throughout the book that the story is a delightful read.
Great story of a very realistically flawed person surrounded by her flawed, but loving friends trying to make sense out of her life. Very well written.
