Reseña del editor

Marsha Rose is spending the summer in Seattle with her lover, Paul. Paul is supportive, understanding, an artist, and he has a voice she can curl up inside of. With him, the rootless, peripatetic, commitment-shy Marsha can at least imagine something like home. She can even consider making the arrangement more permanent. Then Jody shows up, literally outside her window. Inseparable as children, virtually twinned by their parents' close friendship and their own emotional intimacy, Marsha and Jody grew up Jewish together in the hard-shell Baptist country of South Carolina, but ten years have passed since Marsha has last seen Jody. While that decade has brought Marsha success writing flip, sophisticated articles bearing little resemblance to her actual loose-ended life in Washington, D.C., it has led Jody to a severe mental breakdown - a condition for which Marsha has assumed a crushing burden of guilt. Jody's unexpected appearance in Seattle forces Marsha to confront her own history, and the past she has never been able to dismiss collides with a present she cannot easily embrace. On the other side of the impact lies Marsha Rose's future.
