In Inge Bremer-Truman’s sequel to A Root Beer Season, precocious Sonja Pfeiffer is in hot pursuit of auto mechanic whiz kid Charlie Piper.
She’s still carhopping at ‘the dub’ but is more determined than ever to shed old regrets and delusions and get on with the business of being a grown-up. Immersed in Charlie’s world of drag-racing and souped-up cars, Sonja is burning to experience the thrill of the race too. But first she needs a drivers’ license. And a car. As she falls deeper for Charlie and the stoner sixties topple into the frantic 70s, Sonja plunges into an existential crisis as her dreams and plans hit one ditch after another.
Author Inge Bremer-Trueman loved the Alexandra Writers Centre where she was a dedicated volunteer and advocate from 2005 until our move from Inglewood in late 2016. When she was passionate about something, you knew it. Good or bad. She loved writing, hated the publishing process, loved babies and absolutely abhorred Alberta winter. She and a crew of former AWCS members formed the Crabapple Mews Collective, where she went on to publish three books of fiction. Even though she became less active with the AWCS in later years, she remained a dedicated member until 2020. Inge passed away on April 4, 2024.
Inge's family is kindly donating all the proceeds from this book to AWCS to support other writers. AWCS is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to supporting writers.
