Ep. 5/19/2023 - The Jiggy Jaguar Show-Kate rounds

CATBOAT ROAD by KATE ROUNDS Mrs. Robinson meets Holden Caulfield—if Holden were a smart, sexy teenage lesbian in love with her mother’s best friend. For Candace “Ace” Ragsdale, Mrs. Forest is an irresistible force of nature, luscious, tantalizing—and maybe not completely out of reach. The backdrop is the Massachusetts seaside town of Horton, cut off from the world. On the surface, boats sway on their moorings, while below bubbles a primal brew of salt and sea life—much like the Ragsdales, a decidedly modern family whose humor and goodwill skim breezily above an ocean of smoldering emotions. The Ragsdales aren’t moored to social convention—but they’ve learned to surf the wave of the unknown and make the most of chaos. From Ace’s womanizing-yet-worshipful brother to her elusive-yet-loving parents, we watch this well-meaning family weave its way into a rich tapestry of townspeople, often to comic effect. Into this chaos careers a rebel grandmother who shows up to help the Ragsdales save the town windmill, whose mysterious energy whips up the coastal disturbances of a changing world. As this spectacle of public conflict and private anguish unfolds, we’re fully on Ace’s side as she navigates the turbulent waters of love, sex, and small-town values. Spoiler alert: Catboat Road doesn’t end as you might expect. But you’ll race toward the finish line as this sly, seductive narrative moves at breakneck speed
