Althea

About the Book

A clear, beautiful, outrageously funny story about a Boston Irishman’s love for the most spectacular Yankee murderess since Lizzie Borden: Althea Stanton. As X.J. Muldoon goes off on an unforgettable sexual and spiritual journey through Boston, it becomes the telling of a cosmic event "no less significant than the Crucifixion: the divorce of Adam and Eve within our souls."
