Synopsis

A coming of age debut audiobook from accomplished actor, director, and writer Sean Patrick Flanery explores that powerful first taste of love that sets the bar for something that we'll chase, usually unsuccessfully, for the rest of our lives. A young Mickey navigates through the dense Texas humidity of the 70's and out onto the porch every single time his Granddaddy calls him, where he's presented with the heirloom recipe for life, love, and manhood. But all the logic and insight in the world cannot prepare him to operate correctly in the presence of a wonderfully beautiful little girl who moves in just behind his rear fence. How will this magical moment divide Mickey's life into a "before and after" and permanently change his motion and direct it down the unpaved road to which only a lucky few are granted access?

Goodreads review by Melissa on April 12, 2016

It has taken me some time to get all my thoughts together. This novel is so much more than a beautiful piece of art. To me it embodies the human condition.

Goodreads review by Tammy on March 27, 2016

Jane Two was an amazing and heart wrenching story of true love and taking chances. Sean Patrick Flanery's debut novel was inspiring. He truly is a man of many talents and if this novel is a taste of what he has to come, I can't wait to see what more he has in store for us.......more

Goodreads review by Brandi (Rambles of a SAHM) on May 27, 2017

Jane Two was interesting but because of the language I just can't recommend it. I will say that the crass southern Grandpa is a spot on depiction (I had one so I know) but again he drops the f bomb way too many times for my tastes. I would have liked the story to be tightened up and the language cle......more

Quotes

"Flanery writes with such clarity and truth that the places and people jump off the page."—Jon Cassar, Director of 24

"JANE TWO has the dreamy authority of an elusive memory and the poetic whimsy that only comes with distance."—Ken Sanzel, Writer/Executive Producer of Numb3rs

"An unexpected gem. Flanery is the poet warrior."—Jim Crabbe, Producer of Bad Country

"This authentic coming-of-age story is told through the wholly masculine, first-person perspective of Mickey, who looks back at his formative years in Houston, Tex., when he was tucked inside the cocoon of small-town family life, tumultuous schoolyard bullies and friends, and also captivated by first love...Flanery brings the 1970s to robust life, with Pontiac Firebirds, Converse sneakers, and eight-track players blasting Lynyrd Snynyrd in this tearjerker."—Kathleen Gerard, Shelf Awareness

"Jane Two [is] so addictive, so utterly un-put-downable."
