No namby-pamby nursery rhyme is this, but a heart-rending tale of a run-away wife from Alabama who crosses the country on a bus to California. There she meets a traveling man, a kind and gentle tree-hugger and together they head towards Canada in his pick-up truck. You will experience a breath-taking romance, infidelity, spousal abuse, a serial killer and murder. Woven amid the splendor of the green and glorious west coast, you will be tantalized by the philosophical enrichment, embarrassed by the questioning of accepted spiritual dogma, energized by the sheer joy of love and fulfillment and left shocked and stunned in disbelief as the journey ends. No happily ever-after is this, just three broken hearts, hers, his and yours. Read it and run for your life. This short book is an easy read, an intense read, sporting a unique and unusual format called liquid prose, a refreshing change of pace from the pre-patterned block of letters we normally confront in robotic obedience. The two characters who carry the story are strong, expressive and reflective. The reader relates and is anxious and interested in knowing what will happen to them. The suspense builds so that it is difficult to lay the book down. There are unbelievably beautiful passages and some incredible word imagery. Enjoy
