Thank you for stopping by I'm delighted to be shining a spotlight on A Laughing Matter of Pain by Cynthia Hilston on Publication Day!
So let's take a look at the description for the book...
Harry Rechthart always
knew how to laugh, but laughter can hide a lot of pain that’s drowned by the
bottle and good times. He grew up the joker in the early 1900s in Cleveland,
Ohio, but as he enters adulthood, conflict splits him. His once close
relationship with his brother, Erik, breaks as they come into their own and
Erik goes off to college. No longer under Erik’s shadow, Harry feels he might
finally shine and make others see him as someone to be proud of. Harry finds an
unlikely comrade who understands how he feels–his younger sister, Hannah. Once
free of high school, Harry and Hannah double date sister and brother, Kat and Will Jones, attending wild, extravagant parties during the
years of Prohibition. Harry thinks he’s won at life–he’s found love in Kat, in
a good time, and in the bottle. But all the light goes out fast when Harry’s
alcoholism leads to disastrous consequences for him and Kat.
Harry thinks the joke’s on him now that he’s
sunk lower than ever. He’s in jail. He’s pushed away his family. He’s a broken man,
but in the darkest depths of a prison cell, there is hope. Can Harry rebuild
his life and learn that true laughter comes from knowing true joy, or will he
bury himself once and for all in this laughing matter of pain?
