Books with author E.E. Smith

The past has its claws in you. Run.Thomas, William, and Jane journey out of certain danger into an unknown future. They wend their way through the foster care system, escaping a mother deep in debt to a terrifying new drug called Anima, that threatens to take away what little humanity she has left. In their flight from house to house, family to family, they search, never knowing whether to look forwards or backwards. Which is worse: the animals of their past or the afflictions of their future?The author, a playwright and educator, wrote the piece to express some of the difficulties his own children went through in the foster care system, and to find a way to show their heroism and their struggles. William is no David Copperfield, but our world isn’t London circa 1850, either. William is a fictional narrator, but if you let him into your life for a little while, you won't forget him or Thomas or Jane: you can see them everywhere if you keep your eyes and heart open.

The big psionicist's expression of saturnine, almost contemptuous amusement had not changed; his voice came flat and cold. "The less you say, Doctor Bellamy, the better. Obstinate, swell-headed women give me an acute rectal pain. Pitching your curves over all the vizzies in space got you aboard, but it won't get you a thing from here on. And for your information, Doctor Bellamy, one more crack like that and I take you over my knee and blister your fanny." "Try it, you big, clumsy, muscle-bound gorilla!" she jeered. "That I want to see! Any time you want to get both arms broken at the elbows, just try it!" "Now's as good a time as any. I like your spirit, babe, but I can't say a thing for your judgment." He got up and started purposefully toward her, but both non-combatants came between. "Jet back, Clee!" James protested, both hands against the heavier man's chest.
