Everyone handles grief differently, but none so differently as Tim Forester, multimillionaire Juice King, who lost his son a year ago. It starts with him quietly pocketing a china flamingo belonging to his three year old niece, Joy, and by his tenth flamingo has escalated to felony grand theft. He is shot by one person and shot at by another. He is losing his business and his wife, but he is feeling better. Flamingo thieving makes his heart beat. He comes alive. In a way he is having a wonderful time. But how will it end? Quite possibly iin prison.
Flamingo Thief is a funny, bittersweet story of love, loss, family, fruit, and flamingoes. The listeners will never forget Tim Forester, his disastrous way of dealing with grief, and a heart that is bursting with love.

"Trott is a master at revealing madness in the mundane as well as lucidity in the lunacy of our lives. This skill, combined with a keen yet sensitive eye for human self-deception, makes for a fun refreshing and, ultimately enlightening read " - Bloomsbury Review
"The writing is fresh, amusing, inventive, and constantly surprising." - Chicago Tribune.
"Susan Trott does not fit neatly into any catagory, her voice is uniquely her own. She often writes about betrayal and how it is embedded in the very nature of love. Her world is boldly and imaginatively drawn." - Los Angeles Times Book World
