"The Story of Annaliese Easterling and Throckmorton-Her Remarkable Sock Monkey"
Throckmorton, a sock monkey, was made lovingly by Annaliese's great grandmama and given to her the day she was born.
Throckmorton brings Annaliese much joy in an otherwise somber, joyless household. Motherless, friendless, Annaliese confides in Throckmorton daily. She longs to know more about her mother but her father, Judge Easterling, forbids the mention of her name.
Then Great-Grandmama Easterling invites all the sock monkeys she has ever made and their owners to her 90th birthday party. At the party and days that follow many secrets are discovered and many hurts are forgiven.
All because a sock monkey is who is he suppose to be: loving, loyal, very good listener, and forever smiling!
**The story is told from the sock monkey's point of view.
Points to discuss: The punch at the party is supposedly spiked and the boys rather enjoy it!! Divorce/parent abandonment.
