Joseph's Day

Amazon Digital Services LLC , English

Joseph’s Day is a tale of the mid-fifties that takes place in a small southern city. Joseph Rightner is a dump rat; someone who actually resides on the city dump. This particular day, his day, is a typical day for Mechanicsville (the dump communities name) and as usual one filled with success, violence, love and death. The day commences with Joe’s successful raid on the dump and his confrontation with the dump foreman, Joe Black, a violent defender of his turf. His search for money in the alleys of Leesport is rewarded but the girl of his infatuation, Sally Walker dumps him after her father, a self-ordained fundamentalist preacher discovers the budding romance. A confrontation with Brian Walker (Sally’s father), follows a romantic interlude with Mrs. Louise Hall, the suicide of her husband when he discovers the brief affair. The incident is followed by a violent confrontation with Jackie and Sammy Carver, once friends, now bitter enemies and the discovery that Charity Killerman is in love with him. Joe is surrounded by a unique cast of characters, each having some type of influence on him; the Kraut who owns a day-old bread shop, Aunt Mercy and her candy store, Amos Wentz the only Jew in town, Kelly the bar owner, Marge raises hell with him then feeds him, Dean Foster, a minister who lives in a dream world surrounded by extreme poverty and extreme violence and a multitude of others. Mature reading contains violence, explecit sexual scenes and profanity.
