The Shadow Glass follows Jack Corman, the son of a film director who is famous (but like cult movie famous) for a 1986 all-puppet fantasy film.  A hero and visionary to the film’s fans, Jack’s childhood growing up with his father Bob, was way less magical than anything that happened in the movie.  But now his estranged father is dead, and Jack sees a way to get himself out of debt (or start to) by utilizing his access to his father’s collection of film memorabilia, […]

    on A family can be two sisters, one of those sister’s descendants, two other sisters, a magic whale, a sentient island, an omnipotent museum, and academic papers
    Made a mistake - there's no 'the' in the title. And the book had me at the cover too.

    definitely some healing from religious trauma! And, Saved! is one of my favorite movies of all time.
