Description: Meet Libby Markham and her Kenny, whose intense, touching clandestine love affair spans several decades and four marriages? none of them theirs. In a series of independently themed vignettes woven together with nostalgia reminiscent of Summer of ?42, the lovers grapple with his crippling Catholic conscience which rips them apart repeatedly, just to find their way back to their Thorn Birds-style romance. Told by the brilliant but painfully vulnerable Libby, with brutal honesty tempered with wit and astute observation, the reader travels forward and backward in time, watching Libby's character develop from childhood spent on the University of Minnesota campus, influenced first by her powerful ?magical? single mother who leaves Libby orphaned in her teens to find her own magic, and later by the complex, contradictory and stormy Kenny Lawrence whose obses-sion with his entry to Heaven while amassing an astounding fortune leaves Libby roiling in his wake.
