One of those rare novels that will linger in the mind and memory of the reader long after the book itself has been finished and set back upon the shelf, “A Parting Glass” is unreservedly recommended for personal reading lists and community library Contemporary General Fiction collections.”<p></p>\r\n<p>~ James A Cox, The Midwest Book Review</p>\r\n<p>“Surrounded by monsters, in her home and at her school, imaginary and real, unwitting heroine Elizabeth O’Sullivan finds a unique way to deal with a not-so-happy childhood and a path to happiness. The reader is allowed a glimpse into Elizabeth’s world of make believe where Gary Cooper becomes her friend, a special nun floats and protects, and a paper saint dances and winks and makes her feel special. A compelling read from beginning to end.”</p>\r\n<p>~ Maureen Carroll</p>\r\n<p>“This is a page turner. I hated to put it down! So descriptive, insightful and charged! The language is colorful and it brings the picture directly to my mind’s eye. This is my favorite phrase from the book: “Hurt sometimes came when she least expected it, based on some unknown feeling, and popped up like a jack-in-the-box. Hurt and fear, tied together.”</p>\r\n<p>~ Connie Shidler</p>\r\n<p>“I read A Parting Glass all day yesterday. I did not pass GO, I did not collect $200. I only ate once, I did not pee because I was slightly dehydrated from non-stop reading. I could not put it down because I wanted to know more about the lives of this family, these kiddos. I wanted to know how their story ended.</p>\r\n<p>“It was light and happy while at the same time heavy and dark. The characters were distinct, easily recognizable and consistent. I felt I knew them immediately. Their behavior and thoughts were insightful, delightful and sometimes heartbreaking. I laughed at out loud (here…alone in my house) several times or thought “that’s a good one”—I love the main character, Elizabeth, for being her perky, spacey and special little self.”</p>\r\n<p>~ Joyce Cussimanio</p>\r\n<p>“Each character was fully realized, which is no small accomplishment when you are writing about a family with many children.  I do believe the author hit this one out of the park as we used to say at our old softball games.”</p>\r\n<p>~ Kathy Sutton</p>\r\n<p>“The relatable and comforting (at times painful and deeply penetrating) reliability to the Midwest catholic family life was truly charming and lovely to read. Like the feeling of being in a space you remember but have never been. I loved the description of thoughts turned into statements and the charming way things were described; the use of adjectives and descriptors, and subtle and witty humor. An enthralling journey of how a family dealt with pain and happiness together.”</p>\r\n<p>~ Liz Calloni</p>\r\n<p>“I am blown away by this touching, strong, beautifully-written story.  I want to wrap my arms around this family (not Junior) who I feel I have known but yet not really known. I honestly did not want to put the book down once I got started reading.  As I read, I experienced a sense of concern and sadness that was quickly replaced with anticipation, excitement hope and finally joy.  It’s a book I will long remember! Well done!”</p>\r\n<p>~ Debbie Wilson</p>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div></div></div></div></div><div id=\"pg-122-2\" class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\"><div id=\"home-callout\"

One of those rare novels that will linger in the mind and memory of the reader long after the book itself has been finished and set back upon the shelf, “A Parting Glass” is unreservedly recommended for personal reading lists and community library Contemporary General Fiction collections.”<p></p>\r\n<p>~ James A Cox, The Midwest Book Review</p>\r\n<p>“Surrounded by monsters, in her home and at her school, imaginary and real, unwitting heroine Elizabeth O’Sullivan finds a unique way to deal with a not-so-happy childhood and a path to happiness. The reader is allowed a glimpse into Elizabeth’s world of make believe where Gary Cooper becomes her friend, a special nun floats and protects, and a paper saint dances and winks and makes her feel special. A compelling read from beginning to end.”</p>\r\n<p>~ Maureen Carroll</p>\r\n<p>“This is a page turner. I hated to put it down! So descriptive, insightful and charged! The language is colorful and it brings the picture directly to my mind’s eye. This is my favorite phrase from the book: “Hurt sometimes came when she least expected it, based on some unknown feeling, and popped up like a jack-in-the-box. Hurt and fear, tied together.”</p>\r\n<p>~ Connie Shidler</p>\r\n<p>“I read A Parting Glass all day yesterday. I did not pass GO, I did not collect $200. I only ate once, I did not pee because I was slightly dehydrated from non-stop reading. I could not put it down because I wanted to know more about the lives of this family, these kiddos. I wanted to know how their story ended.</p>\r\n<p>“It was light and happy while at the same time heavy and dark. The characters were distinct, easily recognizable and consistent. I felt I knew them immediately. Their behavior and thoughts were insightful, delightful and sometimes heartbreaking. I laughed at out loud (here…alone in my house) several times or thought “that’s a good one”—I love the main character, Elizabeth, for being her perky, spacey and special little self.”</p>\r\n<p>~ Joyce Cussimanio</p>\r\n<p>“Each character was fully realized, which is no small accomplishment when you are writing about a family with many children.  I do believe the author hit this one out of the park as we used to say at our old softball games.”</p>\r\n<p>~ Kathy Sutton</p>\r\n<p>“The relatable and comforting (at times painful and deeply penetrating) reliability to the Midwest catholic family life was truly charming and lovely to read. Like the feeling of being in a space you remember but have never been. I loved the description of thoughts turned into statements and the charming way things were described; the use of adjectives and descriptors, and subtle and witty humor. An enthralling journey of how a family dealt with pain and happiness together.”</p>\r\n<p>~ Liz Calloni</p>\r\n<p>“I am blown away by this touching, strong, beautifully-written story.  I want to wrap my arms around this family (not Junior) who I feel I have known but yet not really known. I honestly did not want to put the book down once I got started reading.  As I read, I experienced a sense of concern and sadness that was quickly replaced with anticipation, excitement hope and finally joy.  It’s a book I will long remember! Well done!”</p>\r\n<p>~ Debbie Wilson</p>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div></div></div></div></div><div id=\"pg-122-2\" class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\"><div id=\"home-callout\"

One of those rare novels that will linger in the mind and memory of the reader long after the book itself has been finished and set back upon the shelf, “A Parting Glass” is unreservedly recommended for personal reading lists and community library Contemporary General Fiction collections.”\n\n~ James A Cox, The Midwest Book Review\n\n\n“Surrounded by monsters, in her home and at her school, imaginary and real, unwitting heroine Elizabeth O’Sullivan finds a unique way to deal with a not-so-happy childhood and a path to happiness. The reader is allowed a glimpse into Elizabeth’s world of make believe where Gary Cooper becomes her friend, a special nun floats and protects, and a paper saint dances and winks and makes her feel special. A compelling read from beginning to end.”\n\n~ Maureen Carroll\n\n\n“This is a page turner. I hated to put it down! So descriptive, insightful and charged! The language is colorful and it brings the picture directly to my mind’s eye. This is my favorite phrase from the book: “Hurt sometimes came when she least expected it, based on some unknown feeling, and popped up like a jack-in-the-box. Hurt and fear, tied together.”\n\n~ Connie Shidler\n\n\n“I read A Parting Glass all day yesterday. I did not pass GO, I did not collect $200. I only ate once, I did not pee because I was slightly dehydrated from non-stop reading. I could not put it down because I wanted to know more about the lives of this family, these kiddos. I wanted to know how their story ended.\n\n“It was light and happy while at the same time heavy and dark. The characters were distinct, easily recognizable and consistent. I felt I knew them immediately. Their behavior and thoughts were insightful, delightful and sometimes heartbreaking. I laughed at out loud (here…alone in my house) several times or thought “that’s a good one”—I love the main character, Elizabeth, for being her perky, spacey and special little self.”\n\n~ Joyce Cussimanio\n \n\n“Each character was fully realized, which is no small accomplishment when you are writing about a family with many children.  I do believe the author hit this one out of the park as we used to say at our old softball games.”\n\n~ Kathy Sutton\n\n \n“The relatable and comforting (at times painful and deeply penetrating) reliability to the Midwest catholic family life was truly charming and lovely to read. Like the feeling of being in a space you remember but have never been. I loved the description of thoughts turned into statements and the charming way things were described; the use of adjectives and descriptors, and subtle and witty humor. An enthralling journey of how a family dealt with pain and happiness together.”\n\n~ Liz Calloni\n\n\n“I am blown away by this touching, strong, beautifully-written story.  I want to wrap my arms around this family (not Junior) who I feel I have known but yet not really known. I honestly did not want to put the book down once I got started reading.  As I read, I experienced a sense of concern and sadness that was quickly replaced with anticipation, excitement hope and finally joy.  It’s a book I will long remember! Well done!”\n\n~ Debbie Wilson\n\n</div></div>\n</div></div></div></div></div><div id=\"pg-2-3\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\"  data-style=\"{&quot;padding&quot;:&quot;4em 0em 0em 0em&quot;,&quot;mobile_padding&quot;:&quot;0% 3% 0% 3%&quot;,&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;cell_alignment&quot;:&quot;flex-start&quot;}\"  data-ratio=\"0.61803398\"  data-ratio-direction=\"right\" ><div class=\"panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-2-3\" ><div id=\"pgc-2-3-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\"  data-weight=\"0.61803399209206\" ><div id=\"panel-2-3-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child\" data-index=\"10\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;}\" ><div class=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\">\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n	<h3 style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">Meet the Author</h3>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 0;\">Tess Banion</h2>\nTess became a storyteller at the age of two.\n\nIt took her many more years to test her writing skills for real. She grew up in a nice size Catholic family with three brothers and a sister. Her first novel is based on truths, half-truths, and flat-out lies.\n\nShe has raised two children and helped sustain a marriage of 37 years. She’s gone to school (got a couple of Masters), worked in politics, changed careers and found her calling. This is her first novel but not her last.

Cox, of the Midwest Book Review as \"A deftly crafted and engaging story of hope and transformations, <em>A Parting Glass</em> showcases author Tess Banion’s genuine flair for narrative driven storytelling. One of those rare novels that will linger in the mind and memory of the reader long after the book itself has been finished and set back upon the shelf, <em>A Parting Glass</em> is unreservedly recommended for personal reading lists and community library Contemporary General Fiction collections.</p>\n<p>She is currently in post production on a documentary film about the pluralistic society that features foreign workers, asylum seekers and refugees working in the Kansas agriculture and meat packing industry in Southwest Kansas. A foiled bomb attack, planned by white supremacists in 2016, by the FBI, which targeted Somali refugees, show the strength, courage, and legacy of the people of Garden City - the descendants of the earliest inhabitants and new arrivals. This film provides a connection to the heated national discussion of immigration.</p>\n<p>Tess is in pre-production <em>I Too, Sing America: Langston Hughes Unfurled</em> through the Dream Documentary Collective with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

One of those rare novels that will linger in the mind and memory of the reader long after the book itself has been finished and set back upon the shelf, “A Parting Glass” is unreservedly recommended for personal reading lists and community library Contemporary General Fiction collections.”\n\n~ James A Cox, The Midwest Book Review\n\n\n“Surrounded by monsters, in her home and at her school, imaginary and real, unwitting heroine Elizabeth O’Sullivan finds a unique way to deal with a not-so-happy childhood and a path to happiness. The reader is allowed a glimpse into Elizabeth’s world of make believe where Gary Cooper becomes her friend, a special nun floats and protects, and a paper saint dances and winks and makes her feel special. A compelling read from beginning to end.”\n\n~ Maureen Carroll\n\n\n“This is a page turner. I hated to put it down! So descriptive, insightful and charged! The language is colorful and it brings the picture directly to my mind’s eye. This is my favorite phrase from the book: “Hurt sometimes came when she least expected it, based on some unknown feeling, and popped up like a jack-in-the-box. Hurt and fear, tied together.”\n\n~ Connie Shidler\n\n\n“I read A Parting Glass all day yesterday. I did not pass GO, I did not collect $200. I only ate once, I did not pee because I was slightly dehydrated from non-stop reading. I could not put it down because I wanted to know more about the lives of this family, these kiddos. I wanted to know how their story ended.\n\n“It was light and happy while at the same time heavy and dark. The characters were distinct, easily recognizable and consistent. I felt I knew them immediately. Their behavior and thoughts were insightful, delightful and sometimes heartbreaking. I laughed at out loud (here…alone in my house) several times or thought “that’s a good one”—I love the main character, Elizabeth, for being her perky, spacey and special little self.”\n\n~ Joyce Cussimanio\n \n\n“Each character was fully realized, which is no small accomplishment when you are writing about a family with many children.  I do believe the author hit this one out of the park as we used to say at our old softball games.”\n\n~ Kathy Sutton\n\n \n“The relatable and comforting (at times painful and deeply penetrating) reliability to the Midwest catholic family life was truly charming and lovely to read. Like the feeling of being in a space you remember but have never been. I loved the description of thoughts turned into statements and the charming way things were described; the use of adjectives and descriptors, and subtle and witty humor. An enthralling journey of how a family dealt with pain and happiness together.”\n\n~ Liz Calloni\n\n\n“I am blown away by this touching, strong, beautifully-written story.  I want to wrap my arms around this family (not Junior) who I feel I have known but yet not really known. I honestly did not want to put the book down once I got started reading.  As I read, I experienced a sense of concern and sadness that was quickly replaced with anticipation, excitement hope and finally joy.  It’s a book I will long remember!

She grew up in a nice size Catholic family with three brothers and a sister. Her first novel is based on truths, half-truths, and flat-out lies.\n\nShe has raised two children and helped sustain a marriage of 37 years. She’s gone to school (got a couple of Masters), worked in politics, changed careers and found her calling. This is her first novel but not her last.

One of those rare novels that will linger in the mind and memory of the reader long after the book itself has been finished and set back upon the shelf, “A Parting Glass” is unreservedly recommended for personal reading lists and community library Contemporary General Fiction collections.”\n\n~ James A Cox, The Midwest Book Review\n\n\n“Surrounded by monsters, in her home and at her school, imaginary and real, unwitting heroine Elizabeth O’Sullivan finds a unique way to deal with a not-so-happy childhood and a path to happiness. The reader is allowed a glimpse into Elizabeth’s world of make believe where Gary Cooper becomes her friend, a special nun floats and protects, and a paper saint dances and winks and makes her feel special. A compelling read from beginning to end.”\n\n~ Maureen Carroll\n\n\n“This is a page turner. I hated to put it down! So descriptive, insightful and charged! The language is colorful and it brings the picture directly to my mind’s eye. This is my favorite phrase from the book: “Hurt sometimes came when she least expected it, based on some unknown feeling, and popped up like a jack-in-the-box. Hurt and fear, tied together.”\n\n~ Connie Shidler\n\n\n“I read A Parting Glass all day yesterday. I did not pass GO, I did not collect $200. I only ate once, I did not pee because I was slightly dehydrated from non-stop reading. I could not put it down because I wanted to know more about the lives of this family, these kiddos. I wanted to know how their story ended.\n\n“It was light and happy while at the same time heavy and dark. The characters were distinct, easily recognizable and consistent. I felt I knew them immediately. Their behavior and thoughts were insightful, delightful and sometimes heartbreaking. I laughed at out loud (here…alone in my house) several times or thought “that’s a good one”—I love the main character, Elizabeth, for being her perky, spacey and special little self.”\n\n~ Joyce Cussimanio\n \n\n“Each character was fully realized, which is no small accomplishment when you are writing about a family with many children.  I do believe the author hit this one out of the park as we used to say at our old softball games.”\n\n~ Kathy Sutton\n\n \n“The relatable and comforting (at times painful and deeply penetrating) reliability to the Midwest catholic family life was truly charming and lovely to read. Like the feeling of being in a space you remember but have never been. I loved the description of thoughts turned into statements and the charming way things were described; the use of adjectives and descriptors, and subtle and witty humor. An enthralling journey of how a family dealt with pain and happiness together.”\n\n~ Liz Calloni\n\n\n“I am blown away by this touching, strong, beautifully-written story.  I want to wrap my arms around this family (not Junior) who I feel I have known but yet not really known. I honestly did not want to put the book down once I got started reading.  As I read, I experienced a sense of concern and sadness that was quickly replaced with anticipation, excitement hope and finally joy.  It’s a book I will long remember! Well done!”\n\n~ Debbie Wilson\n\n</div></div>\n</div></div></div></div></div><div id=\"pg-2-3\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\"  data-style=\"{&quot;padding&quot;:&quot;4em 0em 0em 0em&quot;,&quot;mobile_padding&quot;:&quot;0% 3% 0% 3%&quot;,&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;cell_alignment&quot;:&quot;flex-start&quot;}\"  data-ratio=\"0.61803398\"  data-ratio-direction=\"right\" ><div class=\"panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-2-3\" ><div id=\"pgc-2-3-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\"  data-weight=\"0.61803399209206\" ><div id=\"panel-2-3-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child\" data-index=\"10\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;}\" ><div class=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\">\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n	<h3 style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">Meet the Author</h3>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 0;\">Tess Banion</h2>\nTess became a storyteller at the age of two.\n\nIt took her many more years to test her writing skills for real. She grew up in a nice size Catholic family with three brothers and a sister. Her first novel is based on truths, half-truths, and flat-out lies.\n\nShe has raised two children and helped sustain a marriage of 37 years. She’s gone to school (got a couple of Masters), worked in politics, changed careers and found her calling. This is her first novel but not her last. She lives in Lawrence, Kansas.</div>\n</div></div><div id=\"panel-2-3-0-1\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_text panel-last-child\" data-index=\"11\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;}\" >			<div class=\"textwidget\"><p><iframe width=\"100%\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/719064499&#038;color=%23ff5500&#038;auto_play=false&#038;hide_related=false&#038;show_comments=true&#038;show_user=true&#038;show_reposts=false&#038;show_teaser=true&#038;visual=true\"></iframe></p>\n<p>Listen to Tess speak about her book on Timeline Radio!<br />\n<em>Tess is introduced in minute 20 of the recording. </em></p>\n</div>\n		</div></div><div id=\"pgc-2-3-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\"  data-weight=\"0.38196600790794\" ><div id=\"panel-2-3-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"12\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;}\" >[siteorigin_widget class=\"SiteOrigin_Widget_Image_Widget\"]<input type=\"hidden\" value=\"{&quot;instance&quot;:{&quot;image&quot;:54,&quot;image_fallback&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;align&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;title_align&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Tess Banion in her Office&quot;,&quot;title_position&quot;:&quot;below&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Tess Bannion in her Office&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;bound&quot;:true,&quot;full_width&quot;:true,&quot;_sow_form_id&quot;:&quot;13830329335b5fafcf6dad5254777513&quot;,&quot;_sow_form_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1532997593789&quot;,&quot;new_window&quot;:false,&quot;so_sidebar_emulator_id&quot;:&quot;sow-image-210012&quot;,&quot;option_name&quot;:&quot;widget_sow-image&quot;},&quot;args&quot;:{&quot;before_widget&quot;:&quot;&lt;div id=\\&quot;panel-2-3-1-0\\&quot;

display: none;\">“A deftly crafted and inherently engaging story of hope and transformation, “A Parting Glass” showcases author Tess Banion’s genuine flair for narrative driven storytelling. One of those rare novels that will linger in the mind and memory of the reader long after the book itself has been finished and set back upon the shelf, “A Parting Glass” is unreservedly recommended for personal reading lists and community library Contemporary General Fiction collections.” ~ James A Cox, The Midwest Book Review “Surrounded by monsters, in her home and at her school, imaginary and real, unwitting heroine Elizabeth O’Sullivan finds a unique way to deal with a not-so-happy childhood and a path to happiness. The reader is allowed a glimpse into Elizabeth’s world of make believe where Gary Cooper becomes her friend, a special nun floats and protects, and a paper saint dances and winks and makes her feel special. A compelling read from beginning to end.” ~ Maureen Carroll “This is a page turner. I hated to put it down! So descriptive, insightful and charged! The language is colorful and it brings the picture directly to my mind’s eye. This is my favorite phrase from the book: “Hurt sometimes came when she least expected it, based on some unknown feeling, and popped up like a jack-in-the-box. Hurt and fear, tied together.” ~ Connie Shidler “I read A Parting Glass all day yesterday. I did not pass GO, I did not collect $200. I only ate once, I did not pee because I was slightly dehydrated from non-stop reading. I could not put it down because I wanted to know more about the lives of this family, these kiddos. I wanted to know how their story ended. “It was light and happy while at the same time heavy and dark. The characters were distinct, easily recognizable and consistent. I felt I knew them immediately. Their behavior and thoughts were insightful, delightful and sometimes heartbreaking. I laughed at out loud (here…alone in my house) several times or thought “that’s a good one”—I love the main character, Elizabeth, for being her perky, spacey and special little self.” ~ Joyce Cussimanio “Each character was fully realized, which is no small accomplishment when you are writing about a family with many children. I do believe the author hit this one out of the park as we used to say at our old softball games.” ~ Kathy Sutton “The relatable and comforting (at times painful and deeply penetrating) reliability to the Midwest catholic family life was truly charming and lovely to read. Like the feeling of being in a space you remember but have never been. I loved the description of thoughts turned into statements and the charming way things were described; the use of adjectives and descriptors, and subtle and witty humor. An enthralling journey of how a family dealt with pain and happiness together.” ~ Liz Calloni “I am blown away by this touching, strong, beautifully-written story. I want to wrap my arms around this family (not Junior) who I feel I have known but yet not really known. I honestly did not want to put the book down once I got started reading. As I read, I experienced a sense of concern and sadness that was quickly replaced with anticipation, excitement hope and finally joy. It’s a book I will long remember! Well done!” ~ Debbie Wilson</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n<div id=\"pg-65-2\" class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" data-style=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;home-callout&quot;,&quot;padding&quot;:&quot;0em 0em 0em 0em&quot;,&quot;mobile_padding&quot;:&quot;0% 3% 0% 3%&quot;,&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;bottom_margin&quot;:&quot;4em&quot;,&quot;cell_alignment&quot;:&quot;flex-start&quot;}\" data-ratio=\"1\" data-ratio-direction=\"right\">\n<div id=\"home-callout\" class=\"panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-65-2\">\n<div id=\"pgc-65-2-0\" class=\"panel-grid-cell\" data-weight=\"1\">\n<div id=\"panel-65-2-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"9\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;margin&quot;:&quot;0em 0em 0.9em 0em&quot;}\">\n<div class=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\">\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.paulflinders.net/a-parting-glass\">View Illustrations by the artist Paul Flinders</a></h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-131 alignleft\" src=\"http://tessbanion.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Sister_Mary_Rose-218x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"218\" height=\"300\" /><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-132 alignright\" src=\"http://tessbanion.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/SisterMary-229x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"229\" height=\"300\" /><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-134 alignnone\" src=\"http://tessbanion.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/tess06-001-218x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"218\" height=\"300\" /></p>\n\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n<div id=\"pg-65-3\" class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;cell_alignment&quot;:&quot;flex-start&quot;}\" data-ratio=\"1\" data-ratio-direction=\"right\">\n<div id=\"pgc-65-3-0\" class=\"panel-grid-cell\" data-weight=\"1\">\n<div id=\"panel-65-3-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_media_video panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"10\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;}\">[siteorigin_widget class=\"WP_Widget_Media_Video\"]<input type=\"hidden\" value=\"{&quot;instance&quot;:{&quot;preload&quot;:&quot;metadata&quot;,&quot;loop&quot;:false,&quot;content&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;mp4&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;m4v&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;webm&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;ogv&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;flv&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;attachment_id&quot;:0,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https:\\/\\/youtu.be\\/0CO5pbK1paI&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;so_sidebar_emulator_id&quot;:&quot;media_video-6510010&quot;,&quot;option_name&quot;:&quot;widget_media_video&quot;},&quot;args&quot;:{&quot;before_widget&quot;:&quot;&lt;div id=\\&quot;panel-65-3-0-0\\&quot;

One of those rare novels that will linger in the mind and memory of the reader long after the book itself has been finished and set back upon the shelf, “A Parting Glass” is unreservedly recommended for personal reading lists and community library Contemporary General Fiction collections.”\n\n~ James A Cox, The Midwest Book Review\n\n\n“Surrounded by monsters, in her home and at her school, imaginary and real, unwitting heroine Elizabeth O’Sullivan finds a unique way to deal with a not-so-happy childhood and a path to happiness. The reader is allowed a glimpse into Elizabeth’s world of make believe where Gary Cooper becomes her friend, a special nun floats and protects, and a paper saint dances and winks and makes her feel special. A compelling read from beginning to end.”\n\n~ Maureen Carroll\n\n\n“This is a page turner. I hated to put it down! So descriptive, insightful and charged! The language is colorful and it brings the picture directly to my mind’s eye. This is my favorite phrase from the book: “Hurt sometimes came when she least expected it, based on some unknown feeling, and popped up like a jack-in-the-box. Hurt and fear, tied together.”\n\n~ Connie Shidler\n\n\n“I read A Parting Glass all day yesterday. I did not pass GO, I did not collect $200. I only ate once, I did not pee because I was slightly dehydrated from non-stop reading. I could not put it down because I wanted to know more about the lives of this family, these kiddos. I wanted to know how their story ended.\n\n“It was light and happy while at the same time heavy and dark. The characters were distinct, easily recognizable and consistent. I felt I knew them immediately. Their behavior and thoughts were insightful, delightful and sometimes heartbreaking. I laughed at out loud (here…alone in my house) several times or thought “that’s a good one”—I love the main character, Elizabeth, for being her perky, spacey and special little self.”\n\n~ Joyce Cussimanio\n \n\n“Each character was fully realized, which is no small accomplishment when you are writing about a family with many children.  I do believe the author hit this one out of the park as we used to say at our old softball games.”\n\n~ Kathy Sutton\n\n \n“The relatable and comforting (at times painful and deeply penetrating) reliability to the Midwest catholic family life was truly charming and lovely to read. Like the feeling of being in a space you remember but have never been. I loved the description of thoughts turned into statements and the charming way things were described; the use of adjectives and descriptors, and subtle and witty humor. An enthralling journey of how a family dealt with pain and happiness together.”\n\n~ Liz Calloni\n\n\n“I am blown away by this touching, strong, beautifully-written story.  I want to wrap my arms around this family (not Junior) who I feel I have known but yet not really known. I honestly did not want to put the book down once I got started reading.  As I read, I experienced a sense of concern and sadness that was quickly replaced with anticipation, excitement hope and finally joy.  It’s a book I will long remember! Well done!”\n\n~ Debbie Wilson\n\n</div></div>\n</div></div></div></div></div><div id=\"pg-65-2\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\"

It took a few years and a couple of Masters degrees to finally find her calling. She grew up in Kansas City, Kansas, in a Catholic family of five children, a sweet mother and a father who left the earth at an early age. She attended both parochial and public schools, preferring public schools. Through the years she made friends, found love and started a family, worked as an advocate for the hungry and migrant workers and toiled in partisan politics, finally making a match with the joy of words. She has partnered to raise two beautiful humans and helped sustain a marriage of 38 years. Her book A Parting Glass is a story of hope and redemption culled through the sieve of truth, half-truths and flat-out lies.</div>\n</div></div></div><div id=\"pgc-53-0-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\"  data-weight=\"0.34758771929825\" ><div id=\"panel-53-0-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"1\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;}\" >[siteorigin_widget class=\"SiteOrigin_Widget_Image_Widget\"]<input type=\"hidden\" value=\"{&quot;instance&quot;:{&quot;image&quot;:54,&quot;image_fallback&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;align&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;title_align&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;title_position&quot;:&quot;hidden&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;bound&quot;:true,&quot;_sow_form_id&quot;:&quot;19244571235b5df5ad72192883796779&quot;,&quot;_sow_form_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1532884415520&quot;,&quot;new_window&quot;:false,&quot;full_width&quot;:false,&quot;so_sidebar_emulator_id&quot;:&quot;sow-image-5310001&quot;,&quot;option_name&quot;:&quot;widget_sow-image&quot;},&quot;args&quot;:{&quot;before_widget&quot;:&quot;&lt;div id=\\&quot;panel-53-0-1-0\\&quot;

One of those rare novels that will linger in the mind and memory of the reader long after the book itself has been finished and set back upon the shelf, “A Parting Glass” is unreservedly recommended for personal reading lists and community library Contemporary General Fiction collections.”\n\n~ James A Cox, The Midwest Book Review\n\n\n“Surrounded by monsters, in her home and at her school, imaginary and real, unwitting heroine Elizabeth O’Sullivan finds a unique way to deal with a not-so-happy childhood and a path to happiness. The reader is allowed a glimpse into Elizabeth’s world of make believe where Gary Cooper becomes her friend, a special nun floats and protects, and a paper saint dances and winks and makes her feel special. A compelling read from beginning to end.”\n\n~ Maureen Carroll\n\n\n“This is a page turner. I hated to put it down! So descriptive, insightful and charged! The language is colorful and it brings the picture directly to my mind’s eye. This is my favorite phrase from the book: “Hurt sometimes came when she least expected it, based on some unknown feeling, and popped up like a jack-in-the-box. Hurt and fear, tied together.”\n\n~ Connie Shidler\n\n\n“I read A Parting Glass all day yesterday. I did not pass GO, I did not collect $200. I only ate once, I did not pee because I was slightly dehydrated from non-stop reading. I could not put it down because I wanted to know more about the lives of this family, these kiddos. I wanted to know how their story ended.\n\n“It was light and happy while at the same time heavy and dark. The characters were distinct, easily recognizable and consistent. I felt I knew them immediately. Their behavior and thoughts were insightful, delightful and sometimes heartbreaking. I laughed at out loud (here…alone in my house) several times or thought “that’s a good one”—I love the main character, Elizabeth, for being her perky, spacey and special little self.”\n\n~ Joyce Cussimanio\n \n\n“Each character was fully realized, which is no small accomplishment when you are writing about a family with many children.  I do believe the author hit this one out of the park as we used to say at our old softball games.”\n\n~ Kathy Sutton\n\n \n“The relatable and comforting (at times painful and deeply penetrating) reliability to the Midwest catholic family life was truly charming and lovely to read. Like the feeling of being in a space you remember but have never been. I loved the description of thoughts turned into statements and the charming way things were described; the use of adjectives and descriptors, and subtle and witty humor. An enthralling journey of how a family dealt with pain and happiness together.”\n\n~ Liz Calloni\n\n\n“I am blown away by this touching, strong, beautifully-written story.  I want to wrap my arms around this family (not Junior) who I feel I have known but yet not really known. I honestly did not want to put the book down once I got started reading.  As I read, I experienced a sense of concern and sadness that was quickly replaced with anticipation, excitement hope and finally joy.  It’s a book I will long remember! Well done!”\n\n~ Debbie Wilson\n\n</div></div>\n</div></div></div></div></div><div id=\"pg-2-3\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\"  data-style=\"{&quot;padding&quot;:&quot;4em 0em 0em 0em&quot;,&quot;mobile_padding&quot;:&quot;0% 3% 0% 3%&quot;,&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;cell_alignment&quot;:&quot;flex-start&quot;}\"  data-ratio=\"0.61803398\"  data-ratio-direction=\"right\" ><div class=\"panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-2-3\" ><div id=\"pgc-2-3-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\"  data-weight=\"0.61803399209206\" ><div id=\"panel-2-3-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"11\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;}\" ><div class=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\">\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n	<h3 style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">Meet the Author</h3>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 0;\">Tess Banion</h2>\nTess became a storyteller at the age of two.\n\nIt took her many more years to test her writing skills for real.

One of those rare novels that will linger in the mind and memory of the reader long after the book itself has been finished and set back upon the shelf, “A Parting Glass” is unreservedly recommended for personal reading lists and community library Contemporary General Fiction collections.”\n\n~ James A Cox, The Midwest Book Review\n\n\n“Surrounded by monsters, in her home and at her school, imaginary and real, unwitting heroine Elizabeth O’Sullivan finds a unique way to deal with a not-so-happy childhood and a path to happiness. The reader is allowed a glimpse into Elizabeth’s world of make believe where Gary Cooper becomes her friend, a special nun floats and protects, and a paper saint dances and winks and makes her feel special. A compelling read from beginning to end.”\n\n~ Maureen Carroll\n\n\n“This is a page turner. I hated to put it down! So descriptive, insightful and charged! The language is colorful and it brings the picture directly to my mind’s eye. This is my favorite phrase from the book: “Hurt sometimes came when she least expected it, based on some unknown feeling, and popped up like a jack-in-the-box. Hurt and fear, tied together.”\n\n~ Connie Shidler\n\n\n“I read A Parting Glass all day yesterday. I did not pass GO, I did not collect $200. I only ate once, I did not pee because I was slightly dehydrated from non-stop reading. I could not put it down because I wanted to know more about the lives of this family, these kiddos. I wanted to know how their story ended.\n\n“It was light and happy while at the same time heavy and dark. The characters were distinct, easily recognizable and consistent. I felt I knew them immediately. Their behavior and thoughts were insightful, delightful and sometimes heartbreaking. I laughed at out loud (here…alone in my house) several times or thought “that’s a good one”—I love the main character, Elizabeth, for being her perky, spacey and special little self.”\n\n~ Joyce Cussimanio\n \n\n“Each character was fully realized, which is no small accomplishment when you are writing about a family with many children.  I do believe the author hit this one out of the park as we used to say at our old softball games.”\n\n~ Kathy Sutton\n\n \n“The relatable and comforting (at times painful and deeply penetrating) reliability to the Midwest catholic family life was truly charming and lovely to read. Like the feeling of being in a space you remember but have never been. I loved the description of thoughts turned into statements and the charming way things were described; the use of adjectives and descriptors, and subtle and witty humor. An enthralling journey of how a family dealt with pain and happiness together.”\n\n~ Liz Calloni\n\n\n“I am blown away by this touching, strong, beautifully-written story.  I want to wrap my arms around this family (not Junior) who I feel I have known but yet not really known. I honestly did not want to put the book down once I got started reading.  As I read, I experienced a sense of concern and sadness that was quickly replaced with anticipation, excitement hope and finally joy.  It’s a book I will long remember! Well done!”\n\n~ Debbie Wilson\n\n</div></div>\n</div></div></div></div></div><div id=\"pg-2-3\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\"  data-style=\"{&quot;padding&quot;:&quot;4em 0em 0em 0em&quot;,&quot;mobile_padding&quot;:&quot;0% 3% 0% 3%&quot;,&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;cell_alignment&quot;:&quot;flex-start&quot;}\"  data-ratio=\"0.61803398\"  data-ratio-direction=\"right\" ><div class=\"panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-2-3\" ><div id=\"pgc-2-3-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\"  data-weight=\"0.61803399209206\" ><div id=\"panel-2-3-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"11\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;}\" ><div class=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\">\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n	<h3 style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">Meet the Author</h3>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 0;\">Tess Banion</h2>\nTess became a storyteller at the age of two.\n\nIt took her many more years to test her writing skills for real. She grew up in a nice size Catholic family with three brothers and a sister. Her first novel is based on truths, half-truths, and flat-out lies.\n\nShe has raised two children and helped sustain a marriage of 37 years. She’s gone to school (got a couple of Masters), worked in politics, changed careers and found her calling. This is her first novel but not her last.

One of those rare novels that will linger in the mind and memory of the reader long after the book itself has been finished and set back upon the shelf, “A Parting Glass” is unreservedly recommended for personal reading lists and community library Contemporary General Fiction collections.”\n\n~ James A Cox, The Midwest Book Review\n\n\n“Surrounded by monsters, in her home and at her school, imaginary and real, unwitting heroine Elizabeth O’Sullivan finds a unique way to deal with a not-so-happy childhood and a path to happiness. The reader is allowed a glimpse into Elizabeth’s world of make believe where Gary Cooper becomes her friend, a special nun floats and protects, and a paper saint dances and winks and makes her feel special. A compelling read from beginning to end.”\n\n~ Maureen Carroll\n\n\n“This is a page turner. I hated to put it down! So descriptive, insightful and charged! The language is colorful and it brings the picture directly to my mind’s eye. This is my favorite phrase from the book: “Hurt sometimes came when she least expected it, based on some unknown feeling, and popped up like a jack-in-the-box. Hurt and fear, tied together.”\n\n~ Connie Shidler\n\n\n“I read A Parting Glass all day yesterday. I did not pass GO, I did not collect $200. I only ate once, I did not pee because I was slightly dehydrated from non-stop reading. I could not put it down because I wanted to know more about the lives of this family, these kiddos. I wanted to know how their story ended.\n\n“It was light and happy while at the same time heavy and dark. The characters were distinct, easily recognizable and consistent. I felt I knew them immediately. Their behavior and thoughts were insightful, delightful and sometimes heartbreaking. I laughed at out loud (here…alone in my house) several times or thought “that’s a good one”—I love the main character, Elizabeth, for being her perky, spacey and special little self.”\n\n~ Joyce Cussimanio\n \n\n“Each character was fully realized, which is no small accomplishment when you are writing about a family with many children.  I do believe the author hit this one out of the park as we used to say at our old softball games.”\n\n~ Kathy Sutton\n\n \n“The relatable and comforting (at times painful and deeply penetrating) reliability to the Midwest catholic family life was truly charming and lovely to read. Like the feeling of being in a space you remember but have never been. I loved the description of thoughts turned into statements and the charming way things were described; the use of adjectives and descriptors, and subtle and witty humor. An enthralling journey of how a family dealt with pain and happiness together.”\n\n~ Liz Calloni\n\n\n“I am blown away by this touching, strong, beautifully-written story.  I want to wrap my arms around this family (not Junior) who I feel I have known but yet not really known. I honestly did not want to put the book down once I got started reading.  As I read, I experienced a sense of concern and sadness that was quickly replaced with anticipation, excitement hope and finally joy.  It’s a book I will long remember!

She grew up in a nice size Catholic family with three brothers and a sister. Her first novel is based on truths, half-truths, and flat-out lies.\n\nShe has raised two children and helped sustain a marriage of 37 years. She’s gone to school (got a couple of Masters), worked in politics, changed careers and found her calling. This is her first novel but not her last.

One of those rare novels that will linger in the mind and memory of the reader long after the book itself has been finished and set back upon the shelf, “A Parting Glass” is unreservedly recommended for personal reading lists and community library Contemporary General Fiction collections.”\n\n~ James A Cox, The Midwest Book Review\n\n\n“Surrounded by monsters, in her home and at her school, imaginary and real, unwitting heroine Elizabeth O’Sullivan finds a unique way to deal with a not-so-happy childhood and a path to happiness. The reader is allowed a glimpse into Elizabeth’s world of make believe where Gary Cooper becomes her friend, a special nun floats and protects, and a paper saint dances and winks and makes her feel special. A compelling read from beginning to end.”\n\n~ Maureen Carroll\n\n\n“This is a page turner. I hated to put it down! So descriptive, insightful and charged! The language is colorful and it brings the picture directly to my mind’s eye. This is my favorite phrase from the book: “Hurt sometimes came when she least expected it, based on some unknown feeling, and popped up like a jack-in-the-box. Hurt and fear, tied together.”\n\n~ Connie Shidler\n\n\n“I read A Parting Glass all day yesterday. I did not pass GO, I did not collect $200. I only ate once, I did not pee because I was slightly dehydrated from non-stop reading. I could not put it down because I wanted to know more about the lives of this family, these kiddos. I wanted to know how their story ended.\n\n“It was light and happy while at the same time heavy and dark. The characters were distinct, easily recognizable and consistent. I felt I knew them immediately. Their behavior and thoughts were insightful, delightful and sometimes heartbreaking. I laughed at out loud (here…alone in my house) several times or thought “that’s a good one”—I love the main character, Elizabeth, for being her perky, spacey and special little self.”\n\n~ Joyce Cussimanio\n \n\n“Each character was fully realized, which is no small accomplishment when you are writing about a family with many children.  I do believe the author hit this one out of the park as we used to say at our old softball games.”\n\n~ Kathy Sutton\n\n \n“The relatable and comforting (at times painful and deeply penetrating) reliability to the Midwest catholic family life was truly charming and lovely to read. Like the feeling of being in a space you remember but have never been. I loved the description of thoughts turned into statements and the charming way things were described; the use of adjectives and descriptors, and subtle and witty humor. An enthralling journey of how a family dealt with pain and happiness together.”\n\n~ Liz Calloni\n\n\n“I am blown away by this touching, strong, beautifully-written story.  I want to wrap my arms around this family (not Junior) who I feel I have known but yet not really known. I honestly did not want to put the book down once I got started reading.  As I read, I experienced a sense of concern and sadness that was quickly replaced with anticipation, excitement hope and finally joy.  It’s a book I will long remember! Well done!”\n\n~ Debbie Wilson\n\n</div></div>\n</div></div></div></div></div><div id=\"pg-2-3\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\"  data-style=\"{&quot;padding&quot;:&quot;4em 0em 0em 0em&quot;,&quot;mobile_padding&quot;:&quot;0% 3% 0% 3%&quot;,&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;cell_alignment&quot;:&quot;flex-start&quot;}\"  data-ratio=\"0.61803398\"  data-ratio-direction=\"right\" ><div class=\"panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-2-3\" ><div id=\"pgc-2-3-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\"  data-weight=\"0.61803399209206\" ><div id=\"panel-2-3-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"11\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;}\" ><div class=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\">\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n	<h3 style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">Meet the Author</h3>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 0;\">Tess Banion</h2>\nTess became a storyteller at the age of two.\n\nIt took her many more years to test her writing skills for real. She grew up in a nice size Catholic family with three brothers and a sister. Her first novel is based on truths, half-truths, and flat-out lies.\n\nShe has raised two children and helped sustain a marriage of 37 years. She’s gone to school (got a couple of Masters), worked in politics, changed careers and found her calling. This is her first novel but not her last.

One of those rare novels that will linger in the mind and memory of the reader long after the book itself has been finished and set back upon the shelf, “A Parting Glass” is unreservedly recommended for personal reading lists and community library Contemporary General Fiction collections.”\n\n~ James A Cox, The Midwest Book Review\n\n\n“Surrounded by monsters, in her home and at her school, imaginary and real, unwitting heroine Elizabeth O’Sullivan finds a unique way to deal with a not-so-happy childhood and a path to happiness. The reader is allowed a glimpse into Elizabeth’s world of make believe where Gary Cooper becomes her friend, a special nun floats and protects, and a paper saint dances and winks and makes her feel special. A compelling read from beginning to end.”\n\n~ Maureen Carroll\n\n\n“This is a page turner. I hated to put it down! So descriptive, insightful and charged! The language is colorful and it brings the picture directly to my mind’s eye. This is my favorite phrase from the book: “Hurt sometimes came when she least expected it, based on some unknown feeling, and popped up like a jack-in-the-box. Hurt and fear, tied together.”\n\n~ Connie Shidler\n\n\n“I read A Parting Glass all day yesterday. I did not pass GO, I did not collect $200. I only ate once, I did not pee because I was slightly dehydrated from non-stop reading. I could not put it down because I wanted to know more about the lives of this family, these kiddos. I wanted to know how their story ended.\n\n“It was light and happy while at the same time heavy and dark. The characters were distinct, easily recognizable and consistent. I felt I knew them immediately. Their behavior and thoughts were insightful, delightful and sometimes heartbreaking. I laughed at out loud (here…alone in my house) several times or thought “that’s a good one”—I love the main character, Elizabeth, for being her perky, spacey and special little self.”\n\n~ Joyce Cussimanio\n \n\n“Each character was fully realized, which is no small accomplishment when you are writing about a family with many children.  I do believe the author hit this one out of the park as we used to say at our old softball games.”\n\n~ Kathy Sutton\n\n \n“The relatable and comforting (at times painful and deeply penetrating) reliability to the Midwest catholic family life was truly charming and lovely to read. Like the feeling of being in a space you remember but have never been. I loved the description of thoughts turned into statements and the charming way things were described; the use of adjectives and descriptors, and subtle and witty humor. An enthralling journey of how a family dealt with pain and happiness together.”\n\n~ Liz Calloni\n\n\n“I am blown away by this touching, strong, beautifully-written story.  I want to wrap my arms around this family (not Junior) who I feel I have known but yet not really known. I honestly did not want to put the book down once I got started reading.  As I read, I experienced a sense of concern and sadness that was quickly replaced with anticipation, excitement hope and finally joy.  It’s a book I will long remember! Well done!”\n\n~ Debbie Wilson\n\n</div></div>\n</div></div></div></div></div><div id=\"pg-2-3\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\"  data-style=\"{&quot;padding&quot;:&quot;4em 0em 0em 0em&quot;,&quot;mobile_padding&quot;:&quot;0% 3% 0% 3%&quot;,&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;cell_alignment&quot;:&quot;flex-start&quot;}\"  data-ratio=\"0.61803398\"  data-ratio-direction=\"right\" ><div class=\"panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-2-3\" ><div id=\"pgc-2-3-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\"  data-weight=\"0.61803399209206\" ><div id=\"panel-2-3-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"11\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;}\" ><div class=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\">\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n	<h3 style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">Meet the Author</h3>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 0;\">Tess Banion</h2>\nTess became a storyteller at the age of two.\n\nIt took her many more years to test her writing skills for real. She grew up in a nice size Catholic family with three brothers and a sister. Her first novel is based on truths, half-truths, and flat-out lies.\n\nShe has raised two children and helped sustain a marriage of 37 years. She’s gone to school (got a couple of Masters), worked in politics, changed careers and found her calling. This is her first novel but not her last.

One of those rare novels that will linger in the mind and memory of the reader long after the book itself has been finished and set back upon the shelf, “A Parting Glass” is unreservedly recommended for personal reading lists and community library Contemporary General Fiction collections.”~James A Cox, The Midwest Book Review</p>\n<p>“Surrounded by monsters, in her home and at her school, imaginary and real, unwitting heroine Elizabeth O’Sullivan finds a unique way to deal with a not-so-happy childhood and a path to happiness. The reader is allowed a glimpse into Elizabeth’s world of make believe where Gary Cooper becomes her friend, a special nun floats and protects, and a paper saint dances and winks and makes her feel special. A compelling read from beginning to end.”</p>\n<p>~Maureen Carroll</p>\n<p>“This is a page turner. I hated to put it down! So descriptive, insightful and charged! The language is colorful and it brings the picture directly to my mind’s eye. This is my favorite phrase from the book: “Hurt sometimes came when she least expected it, based on some unknown feeling, and popped up like a jack-in-the-box. Hurt and fear, tied together.”</p>\n<p>~Connie Shidler</p>\n<p>“I read A Parting Glass all day yesterday. I did not pass GO, I did not collect $200. I only ate once, I did not pee because I was slightly dehydrated from non-stop reading. I could not put it down because I wanted to know more about the lives of this family, these kiddos. I wanted to know how their story ended.</p>\n<p>“It was light and happy while at the same time heavy and dark. The characters were distinct, easily recognizable and consistent. I felt I knew them immediately. Their behavior and thoughts were insightful, delightful and sometimes heartbreaking. I laughed at out loud (here…alone in my house) several times or thought “that’s a good one”—I love the main character, Elizabeth, for being her perky, spacey and special little self.”</p>\n<p>~Joyce Cussimanio</p>\n<p>“Each character was fully realized, which is no small accomplishment when you are writing about a family with many children. I do believe the author hit this one out of the park as we used to say at our old softball games.”</p>\n<p>~Kathy Sutton</p>\n<p>“The relatable and comforting (at times painful and deeply penetrating) reliability to the Midwest catholic family life was truly charming and lovely to read. Like the feeling of being in a space you remember but have never been. I loved the description of thoughts turned into statements and the charming way things were described; the use of adjectives and descriptors, and subtle and witty humor. An enthralling journey of how a family dealt with pain and happiness together.”</p>\n<p>~Liz Calloni</p>\n<p>“I am blown away by this touching, strong, beautifully-written story. I want to wrap my arms around this family (not Junior) who I feel I have known but yet not really known. I honestly did not want to put the book down once I got started reading. As I read, I experienced a sense of concern and sadness that was quickly replaced with anticipation, excitement hope and finally joy. It’s a book I will long remember! Well done!”</p>\n<p>~Debbie Wilson</p>\n</div>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">Reviews</h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">W</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hat a refreshingly dif</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ferent read!

Elizabeth is just an imaginative, bright, eleven-year-old girl growing up in a railway town in rural Kansas with her four other siblings at the end of WWII. Life at home revolves totally around the moods of her diabetic father, Junior. At times, Junior can seem like a sweet, loving, husband and father but once that red mist descends the entire family knows exactly what to do and how to handle the situation, as best children can. For Elizabeth, who faces torment at home as well as at her strict Catholic school, where one of the nuns clearly has it in for her, she has adopted a world of fantasy where she can run away and hide to escape the evil monsters that seem out to get her. As she and her siblings grow older, it seems her brothers are reaching the point where they may start to fight back and especially protect their poor mother against her extreme abuse by Junior. Is this family heading for a final reckoning that will see them escape from the never-ending torment of abuse? Can Elizabeth rely on her “saints” -the sweet nun, Sister Mary Rose, or perhaps the kind policeman to be the family’s savior - or will they all have to rely on each other to find a way out of this mayhem?</p>\n<p>A Parting Glass is a theme that many readers will sadly identify with and for that reason alone is a powerful and compelling read. Author Tess Banion has created a cast of characters that ring true and in Elizabeth she has a wonderful young girl who feels apart from the world and the torment being foisted upon her. She has found a way to supersede the worst of the abuse by looking inside herself and creating a world that she is comfortable living in. The author did an amazing job of building heightened tension in the narrative that beautifully matched the explosive changes in Junior’s psyche, where he could turn on a sixpence from being loving and caring into the monster that Elizabeth so feared. I particularly enjoyed the close relationships the siblings had with each other. With adversity comes a drawing together, a feeling of all-for-one and one-for-all, which was the recurring thread of this story. Banion captured perfectly the helplessness of the battered woman and her children – especially in this time period when the male was king and what he said was law. Add to that the not-so-subtle misogyny of the Catholic church and you have a recipe for dysfunction. A weak, frustrated and emotionally damaged male family head is all that is required for an explosive and violent tale. This was both a heart-rending and heart-affirming novel and the author has done extremely well in presenting an easy-to-read and extremely relatable story. This is one book I can highly recommend.</p>\n<p>~Grant Leishman, Readers’ Favorite</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://tessbanion.com/reviews/(opens in a new tab)\">Click HERE for more reviews!</a></p>\n</div>\n</div></div></div></div></div><div id=\"pg-2-3\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\"  data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;cell_alignment&quot;:&quot;flex-start&quot;}\"  data-ratio=\"1\"  data-ratio-direction=\"right\" ><div id=\"pgc-2-3-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\"  data-weight=\"1\" ><div id=\"panel-2-3-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_media_video panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"15\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;}\" >[siteorigin_widget class=\"WP_Widget_Media_Video\"]<input type=\"hidden\" value=\"{&quot;instance&quot;:{&quot;preload&quot;:&quot;metadata&quot;,&quot;loop&quot;:false,&quot;content&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;mp4&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;m4v&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;webm&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;ogv&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;flv&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;attachment_id&quot;:0,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https:\\/\\/youtu.be\\/0CO5pbK1paI&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Tess Banion Audiobook Launch Event Recording&quot;,&quot;so_sidebar_emulator_id&quot;:&quot;media_video-24110015&quot;,&quot;option_name&quot;:&quot;widget_media_video&quot;},&quot;args&quot;:{&quot;before_widget&quot;:&quot;&lt;div id=\\&quot;panel-2-3-0-0\\&quot; class=\\&quot;so-panel widget widget_media_video panel-first-child panel-last-child\\&quot; data-index=\\&quot;15\\&quot; data-style=\\&quot;{&amp;quot;background_image_attachment&amp;quot;:false,&amp;quot;background_display&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;tile&amp;quot;}\\&quot; &gt;&quot;,&quot;after_widget&quot;:&quot;&lt;\\/div&gt;&quot;,&quot;before_title&quot;:&quot;&lt;h3 class=\\&quot;widget-title\\&quot;&gt;&quot;,&quot;after_title&quot;:&quot;&lt;\\/h3&gt;&quot;,&quot;widget_id&quot;:&quot;widget-3-0-0&quot;}}\" />[/siteorigin_widget]</div></div></div><div id=\"pg-2-4\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\"  data-style=\"{&quot;padding&quot;:&quot;4em 0em 0em 0em&quot;,&quot;mobile_padding&quot;:&quot;0% 3% 0% 3%&quot;,&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;cell_alignment&quot;:&quot;flex-start&quot;}\"  data-ratio=\"0.61803398\"  data-ratio-direction=\"right\" ><div class=\"panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-2-4\" ><div id=\"pgc-2-4-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\"  data-weight=\"0.61803399209206\" ><div id=\"panel-2-4-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child\" data-index=\"16\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;}\" ><div class=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\">\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n	<h3 style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">Meet the Author</h3>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 0;\">Tess Banion</h2>\nTess became a storyteller at the age of two.\n\nIt took her many more years to test her writing skills for real.

One of those rare novels that will linger in the mind and memory of the reader long after the book itself has been finished and set back upon the shelf, “A Parting Glass” is unreservedly recommended for personal reading lists and community library Contemporary General Fiction collections.”\n\n~ James A Cox, The Midwest Book Review\n\n\n“Surrounded by monsters, in her home and at her school, imaginary and real, unwitting heroine Elizabeth O’Sullivan finds a unique way to deal with a not-so-happy childhood and a path to happiness. The reader is allowed a glimpse into Elizabeth’s world of make believe where Gary Cooper becomes her friend, a special nun floats and protects, and a paper saint dances and winks and makes her feel special. A compelling read from beginning to end.”\n\n~ Maureen Carroll\n\n\n“This is a page turner. I hated to put it down! So descriptive, insightful and charged! The language is colorful and it brings the picture directly to my mind’s eye. This is my favorite phrase from the book: “Hurt sometimes came when she least expected it, based on some unknown feeling, and popped up like a jack-in-the-box. Hurt and fear, tied together.”\n\n~ Connie Shidler\n\n\n“I read A Parting Glass all day yesterday. I did not pass GO, I did not collect $200. I only ate once, I did not pee because I was slightly dehydrated from non-stop reading. I could not put it down because I wanted to know more about the lives of this family, these kiddos. I wanted to know how their story ended.\n\n“It was light and happy while at the same time heavy and dark. The characters were distinct, easily recognizable and consistent. I felt I knew them immediately. Their behavior and thoughts were insightful, delightful and sometimes heartbreaking. I laughed at out loud (here…alone in my house) several times or thought “that’s a good one”—I love the main character, Elizabeth, for being her perky, spacey and special little self.”\n\n~ Joyce Cussimanio\n \n\n“Each character was fully realized, which is no small accomplishment when you are writing about a family with many children.  I do believe the author hit this one out of the park as we used to say at our old softball games.”\n\n~ Kathy Sutton\n\n \n“The relatable and comforting (at times painful and deeply penetrating) reliability to the Midwest catholic family life was truly charming and lovely to read. Like the feeling of being in a space you remember but have never been. I loved the description of thoughts turned into statements and the charming way things were described; the use of adjectives and descriptors, and subtle and witty humor. An enthralling journey of how a family dealt with pain and happiness together.”\n\n~ Liz Calloni\n\n\n“I am blown away by this touching, strong, beautifully-written story.  I want to wrap my arms around this family (not Junior) who I feel I have known but yet not really known. I honestly did not want to put the book down once I got started reading.  As I read, I experienced a sense of concern and sadness that was quickly replaced with anticipation, excitement hope and finally joy.  It’s a book I will long remember! Well done!”\n\n~ Debbie Wilson\n\n</div></div>\n</div></div></div></div></div><div id=\"pg-2-3\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\"  data-style=\"{&quot;padding&quot;:&quot;4em 0em 0em 0em&quot;,&quot;mobile_padding&quot;:&quot;0% 3% 0% 3%&quot;,&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;cell_alignment&quot;:&quot;flex-start&quot;}\"  data-ratio=\"0.61803398\"  data-ratio-direction=\"right\" ><div class=\"panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-2-3\" ><div id=\"pgc-2-3-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\"  data-weight=\"0.61803399209206\" ><div id=\"panel-2-3-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"11\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;}\" ><div class=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\">\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n	<h3 style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">Meet the Author</h3>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 0;\">Tess Banion</h2>\nTess became a storyteller at the age of two.\n\nIt took her many more years to test her writing skills for real. She grew up in a nice size Catholic family with three brothers and a sister. Her first novel is based on truths, half-truths, and flat-out lies.\n\nShe has raised two children and helped sustain a marriage of 37 years. She’s gone to school (got a couple of Masters), worked in politics, changed careers and found her calling. This is her first novel but not her last.

One of those rare novels that will linger in the mind and memory of the reader long after the book itself has been finished and set back upon the shelf, “A Parting Glass” is unreservedly recommended for personal reading lists and community library Contemporary General Fiction collections.”\n\n~ James A Cox, The Midwest Book Review\n\n\n“Surrounded by monsters, in her home and at her school, imaginary and real, unwitting heroine Elizabeth O’Sullivan finds a unique way to deal with a not-so-happy childhood and a path to happiness. The reader is allowed a glimpse into Elizabeth’s world of make believe where Gary Cooper becomes her friend, a special nun floats and protects, and a paper saint dances and winks and makes her feel special. A compelling read from beginning to end.”\n\n~ Maureen Carroll\n\n\n“This is a page turner. I hated to put it down! So descriptive, insightful and charged! The language is colorful and it brings the picture directly to my mind’s eye. This is my favorite phrase from the book: “Hurt sometimes came when she least expected it, based on some unknown feeling, and popped up like a jack-in-the-box. Hurt and fear, tied together.”\n\n~ Connie Shidler\n\n\n“I read A Parting Glass all day yesterday. I did not pass GO, I did not collect $200. I only ate once, I did not pee because I was slightly dehydrated from non-stop reading. I could not put it down because I wanted to know more about the lives of this family, these kiddos. I wanted to know how their story ended.\n\n“It was light and happy while at the same time heavy and dark. The characters were distinct, easily recognizable and consistent. I felt I knew them immediately. Their behavior and thoughts were insightful, delightful and sometimes heartbreaking. I laughed at out loud (here…alone in my house) several times or thought “that’s a good one”—I love the main character, Elizabeth, for being her perky, spacey and special little self.”\n\n~ Joyce Cussimanio\n \n\n“Each character was fully realized, which is no small accomplishment when you are writing about a family with many children.  I do believe the author hit this one out of the park as we used to say at our old softball games.”\n\n~ Kathy Sutton\n\n \n“The relatable and comforting (at times painful and deeply penetrating) reliability to the Midwest catholic family life was truly charming and lovely to read. Like the feeling of being in a space you remember but have never been. I loved the description of thoughts turned into statements and the charming way things were described; the use of adjectives and descriptors, and subtle and witty humor. An enthralling journey of how a family dealt with pain and happiness together.”\n\n~ Liz Calloni\n\n\n“I am blown away by this touching, strong, beautifully-written story.  I want to wrap my arms around this family (not Junior) who I feel I have known but yet not really known. I honestly did not want to put the book down once I got started reading.  As I read, I experienced a sense of concern and sadness that was quickly replaced with anticipation, excitement hope and finally joy.  It’s a book I will long remember! Well done!”\n\n~ Debbie Wilson\n\n</div></div>\n</div></div></div></div></div><div id=\"pg-2-3\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\"  data-style=\"{&quot;padding&quot;:&quot;4em 0em 0em 0em&quot;,&quot;mobile_padding&quot;:&quot;0% 3% 0% 3%&quot;,&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;cell_alignment&quot;:&quot;flex-start&quot;}\"  data-ratio=\"0.61803398\"  data-ratio-direction=\"right\" ><div class=\"panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-2-3\" ><div id=\"pgc-2-3-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\"  data-weight=\"0.61803399209206\" ><div id=\"panel-2-3-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"11\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;}\" ><div class=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\">\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n	<h3 style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">Meet the Author</h3>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 0;\">Tess Banion</h2>\nTess became a storyteller at the age of two.\n\nIt took her many more years to test her writing skills for real. She grew up in a nice size Catholic family with three brothers and a sister. Her first novel is based on truths, half-truths, and flat-out lies.\n\nShe has raised two children and helped sustain a marriage of 37 years. She’s gone to school (got a couple of Masters), worked in politics, changed careers and found her calling. This is her first novel but not her last.

One of those rare novels that will linger in the mind and memory of the reader long after the book itself has been finished and set back upon the shelf, “A Parting Glass” is unreservedly recommended for personal reading lists and community library Contemporary General Fiction collections.”\n\n~ James A Cox, The Midwest Book Review\n\n\n“Surrounded by monsters, in her home and at her school, imaginary and real, unwitting heroine Elizabeth O’Sullivan finds a unique way to deal with a not-so-happy childhood and a path to happiness. The reader is allowed a glimpse into Elizabeth’s world of make believe where Gary Cooper becomes her friend, a special nun floats and protects, and a paper saint dances and winks and makes her feel special. A compelling read from beginning to end.”\n\n~ Maureen Carroll\n\n\n“This is a page turner. I hated to put it down! So descriptive, insightful and charged! The language is colorful and it brings the picture directly to my mind’s eye. This is my favorite phrase from the book: “Hurt sometimes came when she least expected it, based on some unknown feeling, and popped up like a jack-in-the-box. Hurt and fear, tied together.”\n\n~ Connie Shidler\n\n\n“I read A Parting Glass all day yesterday. I did not pass GO, I did not collect $200. I only ate once, I did not pee because I was slightly dehydrated from non-stop reading. I could not put it down because I wanted to know more about the lives of this family, these kiddos. I wanted to know how their story ended.\n\n“It was light and happy while at the same time heavy and dark. The characters were distinct, easily recognizable and consistent. I felt I knew them immediately. Their behavior and thoughts were insightful, delightful and sometimes heartbreaking. I laughed at out loud (here…alone in my house) several times or thought “that’s a good one”—I love the main character, Elizabeth, for being her perky, spacey and special little self.”\n\n~ Joyce Cussimanio\n \n\n“Each character was fully realized, which is no small accomplishment when you are writing about a family with many children.  I do believe the author hit this one out of the park as we used to say at our old softball games.”\n\n~ Kathy Sutton\n\n \n“The relatable and comforting (at times painful and deeply penetrating) reliability to the Midwest catholic family life was truly charming and lovely to read. Like the feeling of being in a space you remember but have never been. I loved the description of thoughts turned into statements and the charming way things were described; the use of adjectives and descriptors, and subtle and witty humor. An enthralling journey of how a family dealt with pain and happiness together.”\n\n~ Liz Calloni\n\n\n“I am blown away by this touching, strong, beautifully-written story.  I want to wrap my arms around this family (not Junior) who I feel I have known but yet not really known. I honestly did not want to put the book down once I got started reading.  As I read, I experienced a sense of concern and sadness that was quickly replaced with anticipation, excitement hope and finally joy.  It’s a book I will long remember! Well done!”\n\n~ Debbie Wilson\n\n</div></div>\n</div></div></div></div></div><div id=\"pg-2-3\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\"  data-style=\"{&quot;padding&quot;:&quot;4em 0em 0em 0em&quot;,&quot;mobile_padding&quot;:&quot;0% 3% 0% 3%&quot;,&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;cell_alignment&quot;:&quot;flex-start&quot;}\"  data-ratio=\"0.61803398\"  data-ratio-direction=\"right\" ><div class=\"panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-2-3\" ><div id=\"pgc-2-3-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\"  data-weight=\"0.61803399209206\" ><div id=\"panel-2-3-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"10\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;}\" ><div class=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\">\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n	<h3 style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">Meet the Author</h3>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 0;\">Tess Banion</h2>\nTess became a storyteller at the age of two.\n\nIt took her many more years to test her writing skills for real. She grew up in a nice size Catholic family with three brothers and a sister. Her first novel is based on truths, half-truths, and flat-out lies.\n\nShe has raised two children and helped sustain a marriage of 37 years. She’s gone to school (got a couple of Masters), worked in politics, changed careers and found her calling. This is her first novel but not her last.

One of those rare novels that will linger in the mind and memory of the reader long after the book itself has been finished and set back upon the shelf, “A Parting Glass” is unreservedly recommended for personal reading lists and community library Contemporary General Fiction collections.”\n\n~ James A Cox, The Midwest Book Review\n\n\n“Surrounded by monsters, in her home and at her school, imaginary and real, unwitting heroine Elizabeth O’Sullivan finds a unique way to deal with a not-so-happy childhood and a path to happiness. The reader is allowed a glimpse into Elizabeth’s world of make believe where Gary Cooper becomes her friend, a special nun floats and protects, and a paper saint dances and winks and makes her feel special. A compelling read from beginning to end.”\n\n~ Maureen Carroll\n\n\n“This is a page turner. I hated to put it down! So descriptive, insightful and charged! The language is colorful and it brings the picture directly to my mind’s eye. This is my favorite phrase from the book: “Hurt sometimes came when she least expected it, based on some unknown feeling, and popped up like a jack-in-the-box. Hurt and fear, tied together.”\n\n~ Connie Shidler\n\n\n“I read A Parting Glass all day yesterday. I did not pass GO, I did not collect $200. I only ate once, I did not pee because I was slightly dehydrated from non-stop reading. I could not put it down because I wanted to know more about the lives of this family, these kiddos. I wanted to know how their story ended.\n\n“It was light and happy while at the same time heavy and dark. The characters were distinct, easily recognizable and consistent. I felt I knew them immediately. Their behavior and thoughts were insightful, delightful and sometimes heartbreaking. I laughed at out loud (here…alone in my house) several times or thought “that’s a good one”—I love the main character, Elizabeth, for being her perky, spacey and special little self.”\n\n~ Joyce Cussimanio\n \n\n“Each character was fully realized, which is no small accomplishment when you are writing about a family with many children.  I do believe the author hit this one out of the park as we used to say at our old softball games.”\n\n~ Kathy Sutton\n\n \n“The relatable and comforting (at times painful and deeply penetrating) reliability to the Midwest catholic family life was truly charming and lovely to read. Like the feeling of being in a space you remember but have never been. I loved the description of thoughts turned into statements and the charming way things were described; the use of adjectives and descriptors, and subtle and witty humor. An enthralling journey of how a family dealt with pain and happiness together.”\n\n~ Liz Calloni\n\n\n“I am blown away by this touching, strong, beautifully-written story.  I want to wrap my arms around this family (not Junior) who I feel I have known but yet not really known. I honestly did not want to put the book down once I got started reading.  As I read, I experienced a sense of concern and sadness that was quickly replaced with anticipation, excitement hope and finally joy.  It’s a book I will long remember! Well done!”\n\n~ Debbie Wilson\n\n</div></div>\n</div></div></div></div></div><div id=\"pg-2-3\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\"  data-style=\"{&quot;padding&quot;:&quot;4em 0em 0em 0em&quot;,&quot;mobile_padding&quot;:&quot;0% 3% 0% 3%&quot;,&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;cell_alignment&quot;:&quot;flex-start&quot;}\"  data-ratio=\"0.61803398\"  data-ratio-direction=\"right\" ><div class=\"panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-2-3\" ><div id=\"pgc-2-3-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\"  data-weight=\"0.61803399209206\" ><div id=\"panel-2-3-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"11\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;}\" ><div class=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\">\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n	<h3 style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">Meet the Author</h3>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 0;\">Tess Banion</h2>\nTess became a storyteller at the age of two.\n\nIt took her many more years to test her writing skills for real. She grew up in a nice size Catholic family with three brothers and a sister. Her first novel is based on truths, half-truths, and flat-out lies.\n\nShe has raised two children and helped sustain a marriage of 37 years. She’s gone to school (got a couple of Masters), worked in politics, changed careers and found her calling. This is her first novel but not her last.

One of those rare novels that will linger in the mind and memory of the reader long after the book itself has been finished and set back upon the shelf, “A Parting Glass” is unreservedly recommended for personal reading lists and community library Contemporary General Fiction collections.”\n\n~ James A Cox, The Midwest Book Review\n\n\n“Surrounded by monsters, in her home and at her school, imaginary and real, unwitting heroine Elizabeth O’Sullivan finds a unique way to deal with a not-so-happy childhood and a path to happiness. The reader is allowed a glimpse into Elizabeth’s world of make believe where Gary Cooper becomes her friend, a special nun floats and protects, and a paper saint dances and winks and makes her feel special. A compelling read from beginning to end.”\n\n~ Maureen Carroll\n\n\n“This is a page turner. I hated to put it down! So descriptive, insightful and charged! The language is colorful and it brings the picture directly to my mind’s eye. This is my favorite phrase from the book: “Hurt sometimes came when she least expected it, based on some unknown feeling, and popped up like a jack-in-the-box. Hurt and fear, tied together.”\n\n~ Connie Shidler\n\n\n“I read A Parting Glass all day yesterday. I did not pass GO, I did not collect $200. I only ate once, I did not pee because I was slightly dehydrated from non-stop reading. I could not put it down because I wanted to know more about the lives of this family, these kiddos. I wanted to know how their story ended.\n\n“It was light and happy while at the same time heavy and dark. The characters were distinct, easily recognizable and consistent. I felt I knew them immediately. Their behavior and thoughts were insightful, delightful and sometimes heartbreaking. I laughed at out loud (here…alone in my house) several times or thought “that’s a good one”—I love the main character, Elizabeth, for being her perky, spacey and special little self.”\n\n~ Joyce Cussimanio\n \n\n“Each character was fully realized, which is no small accomplishment when you are writing about a family with many children.  I do believe the author hit this one out of the park as we used to say at our old softball games.”\n\n~ Kathy Sutton\n\n \n“The relatable and comforting (at times painful and deeply penetrating) reliability to the Midwest catholic family life was truly charming and lovely to read. Like the feeling of being in a space you remember but have never been. I loved the description of thoughts turned into statements and the charming way things were described; the use of adjectives and descriptors, and subtle and witty humor. An enthralling journey of how a family dealt with pain and happiness together.”\n\n~ Liz Calloni\n\n\n“I am blown away by this touching, strong, beautifully-written story.  I want to wrap my arms around this family (not Junior) who I feel I have known but yet not really known. I honestly did not want to put the book down once I got started reading.  As I read, I experienced a sense of concern and sadness that was quickly replaced with anticipation, excitement hope and finally joy.  It’s a book I will long remember! Well done!”\n\n~ Debbie Wilson\n\n</div></div>\n</div></div></div></div></div><div id=\"pg-2-3\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\"  data-style=\"{&quot;padding&quot;:&quot;4em 0em 0em 0em&quot;,&quot;mobile_padding&quot;:&quot;0% 3% 0% 3%&quot;,&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;cell_alignment&quot;:&quot;flex-start&quot;}\"  data-ratio=\"0.61803398\"  data-ratio-direction=\"right\" ><div class=\"panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-2-3\" ><div id=\"pgc-2-3-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\"  data-weight=\"0.61803399209206\" ><div id=\"panel-2-3-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"11\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;}\" ><div class=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\">\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n	<h3 style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">Meet the Author</h3>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 0;\">Tess Banion</h2>\nTess became a storyteller at the age of two.\n\nIt took her many more years to test her writing skills for real. She grew up in a nice size Catholic family with three brothers and a sister. Her first novel is based on truths, half-truths, and flat-out lies.\n\nShe has raised two children and helped sustain a marriage of 37 years. She’s gone to school (got a couple of Masters), worked in politics, changed careers and found her calling. This is her first novel but not her last.

One of those rare novels that will linger in the mind and memory of the reader long after the book itself has been finished and set back upon the shelf, “A Parting Glass” is unreservedly recommended for personal reading lists and community library Contemporary General Fiction collections.”\n\n~ James A Cox, The Midwest Book Review\n\n\n“Surrounded by monsters, in her home and at her school, imaginary and real, unwitting heroine Elizabeth O’Sullivan finds a unique way to deal with a not-so-happy childhood and a path to happiness. The reader is allowed a glimpse into Elizabeth’s world of make believe where Gary Cooper becomes her friend, a special nun floats and protects, and a paper saint dances and winks and makes her feel special. A compelling read from beginning to end.”\n\n~ Maureen Carroll\n\n\n“This is a page turner. I hated to put it down! So descriptive, insightful and charged! The language is colorful and it brings the picture directly to my mind’s eye. This is my favorite phrase from the book: “Hurt sometimes came when she least expected it, based on some unknown feeling, and popped up like a jack-in-the-box. Hurt and fear, tied together.”\n\n~ Connie Shidler\n\n\n“I read A Parting Glass all day yesterday. I did not pass GO, I did not collect $200. I only ate once, I did not pee because I was slightly dehydrated from non-stop reading. I could not put it down because I wanted to know more about the lives of this family, these kiddos. I wanted to know how their story ended.\n\n“It was light and happy while at the same time heavy and dark. The characters were distinct, easily recognizable and consistent. I felt I knew them immediately. Their behavior and thoughts were insightful, delightful and sometimes heartbreaking. I laughed at out loud (here…alone in my house) several times or thought “that’s a good one”—I love the main character, Elizabeth, for being her perky, spacey and special little self.”\n\n~ Joyce Cussimanio\n \n\n“Each character was fully realized, which is no small accomplishment when you are writing about a family with many children.  I do believe the author hit this one out of the park as we used to say at our old softball games.”\n\n~ Kathy Sutton\n\n \n“The relatable and comforting (at times painful and deeply penetrating) reliability to the Midwest catholic family life was truly charming and lovely to read. Like the feeling of being in a space you remember but have never been. I loved the description of thoughts turned into statements and the charming way things were described; the use of adjectives and descriptors, and subtle and witty humor. An enthralling journey of how a family dealt with pain and happiness together.”\n\n~ Liz Calloni\n\n\n“I am blown away by this touching, strong, beautifully-written story.  I want to wrap my arms around this family (not Junior) who I feel I have known but yet not really known. I honestly did not want to put the book down once I got started reading.  As I read, I experienced a sense of concern and sadness that was quickly replaced with anticipation, excitement hope and finally joy.  It’s a book I will long remember! Well done!”\n\n~ Debbie Wilson\n\n</div></div>\n</div></div></div></div></div><div id=\"pg-2-3\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\"  data-style=\"{&quot;padding&quot;:&quot;4em 0em 0em 0em&quot;,&quot;mobile_padding&quot;:&quot;0% 3% 0% 3%&quot;,&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;cell_alignment&quot;:&quot;flex-start&quot;}\"  data-ratio=\"0.61803398\"  data-ratio-direction=\"right\" ><div class=\"panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-2-3\" ><div id=\"pgc-2-3-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\"  data-weight=\"0.61803399209206\" ><div id=\"panel-2-3-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"11\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;}\" ><div class=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\">\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n	<h3 style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">Meet the Author</h3>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 0;\">Tess Banion</h2>\nTess became a storyteller at the age of two.\n\nIt took her many more years to test her writing skills for real. She grew up in a nice size Catholic family with three brothers and a sister. Her first novel is based on truths, half-truths, and flat-out lies.\n\nShe has raised two children and helped sustain a marriage of 37 years. She’s gone to school (got a couple of Masters), worked in politics, changed careers and found her calling. This is her first novel but not her last.
