Items related to The Face of a Naked Lady: An Omaha Family Mystery
Rips returns to his Omaha family home to discover a hidden portfolio of paintings--all done by his late father, all of a naked black woman. So begins a gloriously funny yet deeply serious gem of a book that offers more than a little redemption in our cynical times.

Book Description Softcover. Condition: New. In a strangely fascinating memoir that could be described as Middle American gothic, Michael Rips delves into the secret past of his family and their seemingly sleepy Nebraska hometown, exposing the eccentricities and surprises that lurk below the surface. Rips learns that his father was raised in a notorious brothel rumored to have Mob ties. From here, the revelations get stranger, with stories of a dead man who fell through a ceiling, a man who wears a prosthetic penis on his boot to attract the ladies, a homeless millionaire, and a chicken-abusing adolescent. Intertwining past and present, this disarming, absorbing memoir is framed by Ripss search to identify a woman who posed years earlier for one of his fathers paintings.
