Reseña del libro "T'ings"
T'ings presents the decades-long saga of two families, the Kleins and the Walchuks, whose intersecting destinies orbit the career of Amabel Hadley, child actor turned celebrity disaster. Raymond Walchuk, filmmaker patriarch of the first family, rises above the B grade horror films he's known for by directing a family adventure blockbuster, Kong's Daughter. But his subsequent foray into serious independent filmmaking ends scandalously after his on-set mistreatment of ten-year-old Amabel. Raymond's son Carl, after a promising beginning to his own film career, ages out of his cuteness and retires from performing in his teens, while his mother, Raymond's ex-wife Christine, launches a successful online gaming magazine. Meanwhile, Jenna Klein, the alopecia-afflicted teenage super-fan of celebrity (now rehab queen) Amabel, deserts her well-meaning mother and long-suffering boyfriend to become a profiteering (and murderous) surrogate. Jenna ultimately absconds to Mexico on the promise of a higher price for the child she carries (the in vitro offspring of long dead Raymond and dying Christine). Carl Walchuk and Amabel reconnect as adults on the set of the animated project which Amabel hopes will resuscitate her career. They fall in love, and, for a time co- parent toddler Wray (Raymond's biological brother and the child Jenna sought to barter). And then . . . ?
