From the Publisher:

This is a profoundly moving and moral tale, vividly grounded in contemporary reality, without being in the least didactic. All the desire, temptation, anger and despair of the human animal are overridden in this story by all that is tender and forgiving. Once again Kenneth Robbins, winner of the Toni Morrison Award for his other work Buttermilk Bottoms, makes his bid to become one of our most prominent authors.

From the Author:

I offer sincere thanks to the Japan Foundation for providing me with the opportunity to research and write this work. I completed the novel while in residence at the Fundacion Valparaiso, Mojacar, Spain.
