Long ago, someone told the first story. This is not that story. Dawsun Coppertop was abandoned as a newborn orphan in a plain wicker basket on the front porch of Surlybrook Children's Shelter for Children. Hampered by a condition in which he can only speak in questions, he sets out with a scrap of paper as the only link to his mysterious origins. Along the way, his story intertwines with those he meets, from a vagrant hobo to a three-legged dog that speaks Morse code. Each story brings the young orphan closer to the truth in an odyssey of absurdity, tragedy, and personal revelation. A love story to stories that blends together genres and a diverse array of colorful characters, Dawsun Coppertop is the first (and possibly last) novel from award-winning playwright and screenwriter Jonathan Jordan.
