Ten Miles Past Normal
Author: Frances O'Roark Dowell
Excerpt from page 67

Sarah and I both jump.  Standing in front of us-no, make that looming over us-is a Mack truck of a guy,six-two at the very least, in overalls and a tie-dyed T-shirt, his long red hair pulled into a ponytail. He shoves his hands in his pockets and leans back on his heels. "Monster Partin Monroe.  It's right there on the birth certificate. I'll drive down to the county courthouse and get you a copy if you want."
