Wayfaring at Waverly in Silver Lake Book

The beyond-great Hollywood star returns in seven pyrotechnic tales that becomeâ??somehowâ??a family saga spread over seventeen years.Wayfaring at Waverly in Silver Lake encompasses friends, relations, and some passersbyâ??as James McCourt cocks a cast eye on the seven deadly sins.
