Cover Crazy: Irises by Francisco X. Stork

Cover Crazy is a weekly meme hosted by Tawni at The Book Worms! Stop by and join in on the fun. Putting this up a little bit early - got lots of stuff going on today. 

We are thinking about moving our Cover Crazy post to Sunday. Stacey ran across another Monday meme that looks fun and we wanted to try it- it's called Make It A Movie Monday!

This week I am crazy about...

Irises by Francisco X. Stork

I am enjoying the mixed messages in this cover. The coloring makes it looks hopeful, yet foreboding. The girls look strong yet unsure of the path they are about to walk down. I also like the way the font is done - it seems like its just floating along the cover.

Two sisters discover what's truly worth living for in the new novel by the author of MARCELO IN THE REAL WORLD.TWO SISTERS: Kate is bound for Stanford and an M.D. -- if her family will let her go. Mary wants only to stay home and paint. When their loving but repressive father dies, they must figure out how to support themselves and their mother, who is in a permanent vegetative state, and how to get along in all their uneasy sisterhood.

THREE YOUNG MEN: Then three men sway their lives: Kate's boyfriend Simon offers to marry her, providing much-needed stability. Mary is drawn to Marcos, though she fears his violent past. And Andy tempts Kate with more than romance, recognizing her ambition because it matches his own. ONE AGONIZING CHOICE: Kate and Mary each find new possibilities and darknesses in their sudden freedom. But it's Mama's life that might divide them for good -- the question of *if* she lives, and what's worth living for.IRISES is Francisco X. Stork's most provocative and courageous novel yet
