Annie loathes middle age because in her mind, as long as she avoids mirrors in brightly lit rooms, she is still a cool, cutting edge hipster with a scandalous secret she has kept for almost three decades. At age seventeen, Annie had a love affair with a man ten years her senior -- legendary British rock guitarist Mick Saunders. Now, feeling stuck in a boring, faltering marriage and desperate to change her life, she is unexpectedly given the chance to reconnect with Mick while chaperoning her fledgling rock star teenagers on a tour across America. To Annie, this opportunity to recapture her past is a dream come true. But will she and Mick be able to pick up where they left off?

At last—a funny, sexy, and scathingly honest look at what it means to be an aging boomer in a world changing faster than a phone number on speed dial. With a fresh voice, a fast plot, and a unique perspective on the new generation of sex, drugs, and rock and roll, Daddy Left Me Alone With God is a delight from start to finish.

Meet the Author
Robin Slick is a raging liberal living in downtown Philadelphia who wishes she could jump in a time machine and travel to London where she'd party with the Beatles, Eric Clapton, and all of their pals in the late sixties. She is the writer of several published short stories and novels, a nominee for a Best American Short Story award, former fiction editor at both NFG Magazine and Philadelphia Stories, but sadly is probably most well known as the mother of Eric Slick, drummer for Dr. Dog, and Julie Slick, bassist for the Adrian Belew Power Trio. Visit her on the web at http://www.robinslick.com to check out various interviews, reviews, and links to published works. Her blog, http://www.inherownwrite.blogspot.com, gets hundreds of thousands of visitors per year, but she suspects that these visitors come to read about her kids, though she has recently launched a Celebrity Book Club monthly feature on said blog, and she invites authors to email her at if they wish to be included.
Her interests include rock music, world travel, and eating gourmet vegetarian meals prepared by five star restaurants and her daughter, Julie.
She also loves dogs more than people but does not like cats though she should have one, given the fact that she has an unnatural fear of mice.
