Sorry to Disrupt the Peace

2017 | Contemporary | Fiction & Poetry

Helen's adoptive brother has killed himself. According to the internet, there are six possible reasons for suicide. But Helen knows better: she knows that six reasons is only shorthand for the abyss. Helen also knows that she alone is qualified to launch a serious investigation into his death, so she purchases a one-way ticket back to Milwaukee, her hometown. There, as she attempts to uncover why someone would choose to die, she will face her estranged family, her brother's few friends, and the overzealous grief counsellor, Chad Lambo; she may also discover what it truly means to be alive.Sorry to Disrupt the Peace is a dark comedy about suicide - and an introduction to a singular new writer.

"Oh, Patty. I miss you! Her debut novel moved me really deeply. It's so personally written, although it is also a dry dissection of an experience with death, also of a brother. Having lost my own brother recently, Patty's book, along with “Fourteen Stories,” reminds me that there is a way out of grief, which is creativity."
