Who remembers the Butterscotch Palace, shooting the drag, the $13 fine for underage drinking, jumping ice-clampers, the introduction of Pac-man and Asteroids? Through the Elephant Ears by Mj Dominey, is a collection of connecting short stories that follow Kat as she navigates adolescence surrounded by poverty, depression, alcoholism, and small-town ideologies. Add in a couple of come-from-aways, and everything Kat thought she knew about the world, about people and about love changes. Will she find a way to ease her personal burdens? Will she escape?
