Catherine Ryan Hyde Synopses: Funerals for Horses by Catherine Ryan Hyde is a gritty, compelling tale of a woman’s search for her lost childhood. In a descent into madness, Ella Ginsberg slips into and out of insanity, and manages to cling by a slender thread to the flattened earth of her existence.
In Electric God by Catherine Ryan Hyde, Hayden Reese once believed he could have it all – and at one point, he came close: a wife and a daughter he adored, and a child on the way. But little by little, a chain of heartaches stripped him of all he loved – and a flash of violence changed his destiny. Now at middle age, newly spring from jail in a remote California town, Hayden is utterly alone – his girlfriend has left and he just buried his beloved dog. It seems God may never be done with Hayden Reese. And that’s the “good” news.
