Abstract
The Messenger Orange
, a novel, follows the coming-of-age of Derek Baker, a young Michigander who finds himself in the middle of a complex divorce, torn between a fun but reckless mother and a stern but unshakably loving father. As the story opens, Derek’s mother receives a love-note from an old college fling, a Floridian named John. She flees to Florida with Derek, and although romance with John does not initially re-ignite, she decides to remain in Tampa, forcing a divorce from Derek’s father. Derek soon finds himself back in Michigan, under his father’s custody, but a question remains that largely drives the remaining narrative: Which man is Derek’s biological father, Howard, the dull man from Michigan, or John, the free spirit from Tampa?
