Sister Golden Hair

fullDescription

When Jesse's family moves to Roanoke, Virginia, in the summer of 1972, she's 12 years old and already mindful of the schism between innocence and femininity, the gap between childhood and the adult world. Her father, a former pastor, cycles through spiritual disciplines as quickly as he cycles through jobs. Her mother is dissatisfied, glumly fetishizing the Kennedys. In the midst of it all, Jesse finds space to set up her room with her secret treasures: busts of Emily Dickinson and Shakespeare, a Venus flytrap, her Cher 45s, and The Big Book of Burial Rites, which she reads obsessively. But outside awaits all the misleading sexual mores, muddled social customs, and confused spirituality.

reviews

1. • premium: False
   • source: Booklist
   • content: "Steinke's narrator, Jesse, is both unforgettably unique and a quintessential adolescent girl... Jesse's naive admiration...and her chameleonlike reaction to whomever she attaches herself to create a painfully true account of a tough phase of life made more so by the disillusions of the time. But as Jesse observes these characters' hopelessness, she herself becomes more defined - perhaps more the guitarist than the girl in the song."

     July 7, 2014
     Steinke’s (Easter Everywhere) latest novel opens as 12-year-old Jesse’s father, an ex-Methodist minister, is settling the family in for a new life in Roanoke, Va. With a perpetually dissatisfied mother, a father tossed in the waves of spiritual uncertainty, and a little brother happily rooted in the childhood that Jessie is quickly leaving behind, she turns to the neighbors in her duplex community at Bent Tree for companionship and guidance. Jesse consults older women wise in the ways of dance and romance, peers well informed on superstitions, and Playboy Bunnies in an attempt to understand the budding sexuality pushing her into the uncharted territories of liberation and loneliness. Her treasures, like her copy of Big Book of Burial Rites and the Cher and David Bowie songs piping from the radio, are the endearing artifacts of a young girl struggling both to stand out and to fit in. Despite its lack of surprises, Jesses’s story is nevertheless convincing, filled with nostalgia for the early 1970s.
