"The fortuneteller's warning echoes in Sam Parker's dreams. "Your soulmate waits for you, Sam, but beware, your destiny requires sacrifice. You'll be forced to choose." After events in college leave Sam struggling to provide his son a stable and loving childhood amidst his wife's battles with mental illness and addiction, the years blur before him. He finds no time for his once-cherished fantasies. When his son finally heads off to college, Sam retreats to Washington's Olympic Peninsula to escape his crumbling marriage and weary life. There, he finds her, in the most unlikely place- kindred soul, fiery, bohemian Esme, a black blood Roma. She's been waiting for Sam to find her since childhood. They are together at last, yet, as forewarned, Sam must choose, his son or his heart's desire." -- Provided by publisher.
