Description: Forty-nine-year-old Toots Henslee's near-idyllic solitude - he lives in a tree house overlooking a river near Nashville - is invaded by Sally Ann Shaw, a wannabe country-western singer on the lam from her hoodlum boyfriend, from whom she's stolen a quarter of a million dollars. Yount's fourth novel is a wry fable about identity and commitment, responsibility and the vagaries of love.
