author: Nichols, Karen
description: Astra loved the idea of a lengthy road trip. She wanted to visit the wine area of California and combining it with a favor for Gemini was not a problem. Delivering the old blade to an ex-husband of a friend would be a minor stop during the early part of her trip.
  A dead car and exhausted body made her lie down in a barn and close her eyes for some peace.
  Waking to find a small child calling her mama…now that was definitely new.
