Description: "Dogs In The Sun is a tropical odyssey about a boat, a baby and a body that propels a diverse cast of characters to the shores of their new selves. The novel explores what it means to be accepting of doing the thing you think you cannot, but know you must. From the virgin shores of Acapulco in 1967 to the gritty banks of Port-au-Prince in 1986, Dogs In The Sun relates the tale of four misfits whose paths collide on the last voyage of RMS Queen Mary, during which a child is born, relinquished, and later called to dissolve the life of one of his mothers, leading him to discover what it means to be fully born. Dogs In The Sun is about last things--last times, and how they hold the seeds of new beginnings"--Back cover.
