Description

Raedawn Somershoe lives in a trailer on the banks of the Fox River. She likes men and men like her. It runs in the family: her mother, Gelia, can seduce a man just by walking across a road. When they set their sights on a man, something magical happens.
Alexander Caebeau drives a bucketloader for a construction company. He's lonely, homesick, tired of cutting down trees and putting up ugly buildings. He dreams of going back to the Bahamas, but when Alexander meets Raedawn Somershoe, something magical happens.
Raedawn has just lost her lover. Her mother is keeping secrets from her. Her childhood sweetheart has come home and is looking for answers. Riverfront developers want Rae and her family gone. She may just be falling in love with Alexander Caebeau. And the Fox River is beginning to rise. . . . Something magical is about to happen.

"Engaging ... deeply charming, and its best scenes lodge in the reader's memory."
-- Washington Post

"It's not often you get characters like those that appear in Jennifer Stevenson's Trash Sex Magic. Even if you remove the oddities like the underground huts and the tree fucking, Stevenson presents men and women who feel entirely new to literature, and they're so good you have to wonder why they've been missing.... It's so refreshing to read a fantasy book that doesn't read like it bows down to Tolkien, a book with a message that doesn't sound preachy. Trash Sex Magic is Stevenson's first novel, and it will be exciting to see what she comes up with next."
-- Bookslut

"Jennifer Stevenson's raunchy, funny, and disturbing first novel, Trash Sex Magic, is full of bewitching weirdness."
-- Chicago Reader

"Wonderful.... Trash Sex Magic can sweep you up and leave up dazzled, miles from home."
-- Locus
