«Icy Sparks» is the debut novel by Gwyn Hyman Rubio, published by Penguin Publishing Group in paperback (308 pages, in English).
Raised by her grandparents in rural Kentucky in the 1950s, Icy Sparks has suffered since childhood from croaks, grunts and uncontrollable spasms that make her a target of mockery. As an adult she discovers she has Tourette syndrome; her friendship with the eccentric Miss Emily and her discovery of singing help her accept herself and fit in.
First novel by Gwyn Hyman Rubio, it was an Oprah's Book Club selection in March 2001 and a New York Times Notable Book.
For book clubs and for readers of literary fiction and coming-of-age novels about accepting difference.
