Description: "At twenty-eight, Susan is the kind of teacher every student falls for, in one way or another. She's beautiful, kind, sympathetic - and she teaches art, where her creative approach and candor have endeared her to all. Her personal life is something else, however, as her biological clock ticks on and boyfriend Curt shows no sign of wanting marriage, and even less of wanting children.".

"When seventeen-year-old transfer student Jeff Robins walks into her art club meeting one night, Susan is transfixed by his good looks, palpable shyness and obvious admiration.".

"With compelling insight, Gabriel's Eye exposes the architecture of the human heart in all its vulnerability and power. Never has Smith created a more sympathetic young man than Jeff, deeply infatuated, forced by circumstance into a nurturing role at home, disturbingly at risk from the intensity of his emotions.

What may be more surprising, however, is the author's ability to inhabit the skin of Susan, a young woman whose loss of a moral compass sets off a chain of events the conclusion of which she cannot foresee."--BOOK JACKET.
