Simple People: A Novel of Choice and Consequence - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Ahmed Winslow and Eleanor Hornby have nothing in common -- except for the open road.

Ahmed grew up in a contentious, fractured home, his father long gone. He craved life alone and the kind of quiet that comes from leaving everything behind. Eleanor was given every advantage a loving family could offer but wanted to strike out on her own. drawn by the restless pull of the unknown.

Fate (or something like it) lands them both at the same trucking company. And somewhere between long hauls and low expectations, something unexpected takes hold.

But Ahmed is hiding something. A hobby, he told himself, a victimless crime. He decided to visit Mexico to quietly turn his growing pile of counterfeit bills into real money. He meets David and Marcy, a pair of expats whose friendliness masks something he doesn't see right away. Not until he and Eleanor visit them together, when they reveal their true agendas.

Disgusted, the pair returns to the U.S. empty-handed but safe. But Fate follows them, leading to dramatic events that shake both of them. Ahmed never saw it coming. And by the time Eleanor understood what it meant (for him, and for herself) nothing between them would ever be the same.
