description: "This is lyrical writing at its finest . . . breathtaking and beautiful, showing us the fullness of a life captured." -Foreword MagazineFor decades, Mercedes Medina has carefully navigated life's turbulent currents, and although her irascibly good-humored husband of 25 years is dying, she fully expects her elegantly ordered existence to carry on. But when a passionate affair hits her head-on--and desire collides with responsibility--she is forced to redefine her life in ways authentically her own. She knows peace will never find her here. But she might not miss it. . . .
