Banner, a freelance photographer, have been together six months after meeting on a dating website. They are getting married in two weeks and as the wedding fast approaches, they question their compatibility while investigating mysterious horse killings that are taking place in Ogweyo's Cove, the Pacific tourist haven where they live. In the meantime, Schuld Ostheim, Kerstin's transgender daughter from her first marriage, is preparing for an art exhibit after being hospitalized for a physical assault while her boyfriend, Woloff, an Olympic medalist in the 1500m, comes to terms with a career ending knee injury. As Kerstin and P.J. get closer to the truth about the dead horses, they also begin to more clearly see each other. Simultaneously, Schuld and Woloff encounter obstacles caused by how their relationships with the past effect their sense of a possible future. Ultimately, Smells Like Stars draws attention to what is hidden in plain sight, that life can be cruel, ambiguous and without meaning. 650 0 $a Journalists $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Photographers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Marriage $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Horses $x Crimes against $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Transgender people $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Victims of violent crimes $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Olympic athletes $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Islands of the Pacific $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Journalists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00984188 650 7 $a Marriage. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01010443 650 7 $a Olympic athletes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01764756 650 7 $a Photographers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01061605 650 7 $a Transgender people. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01765239 650 7 $a Victims of violent crimes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01166352 651 7 $a Pacific Ocean $z Islands of the Pacific. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01244201 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 655 4 $a Canadian fiction. 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726589 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 776 1 $a Odhiambo, David Nandi, 1965-, author. $t Smells like stars / $b First edition. $d [Toronto] : Book*hug, 2018. $w (CaOONL)20189042664 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191122013935.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A4EEFF28462211E9A3F20F6897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
