Set in the year of Hurricane Katrina, this engaging, well paced novel, travels along with a divorced San Francisco couple who have weathered an on-and-off relationship through the co-parenting of a rebellious daughter, and the loss of an "adopted" son. As Lee Ann and Stanley embark on a reconciliation of sorts, their lives and emotions take a loop-de-loop ride that involves romance, danger, and an astonishing discovery. With San Francisco, New Orleans, and Jamaica as backdrops, this story is told with vivid description, lively dialogue, and a cast of complex characters who will engage readers until the last page.
