Overview

Welcome to Whiterock, Oregon, where peculiar happenings are taken for granted. Whiterock is where Sally Carruthers is stuck, nursing a dying father. She used to have a career and a bright future. Now all she has is an old house and a mending and alterations business that barely brings in pocket change. Whiterock is where Gus Loring seeks forgetfulness. To find it, he'd have to do the impossible and forgive himself. Once he was a successful engineer, on the fast track to fame and fortune. Now he delivers laundry to dreary towns, until it's time for him to run again. Whiterock is where people are from, because there's nothing left to hold them there. Every year more of the stores on Main Street close, and every year more of its young people leave, to find their fortunes somewhere else. Yet somehow it endures. So perhaps there's something more to Whiterock than dusty streets, shabby buildings, and discouraged residents, because everything changes when Gus and Sally find each other. The future once again holds hope and promise. Or does it?

Read an Excerpt

Gus stared at her, standing slightly breathless and flushed. How had he ever thought her plain?

He stared at her a long time, trying to understand where she was coming from. Finally he said, "Didn't you hear what I told you? I killed my wife."

"Yes, well, I'm sure you had a very good reason to," she said primly. And smiled.

"Lady, you are crazier than a loon," he said, feeling an almost irresistible urge to smile back at her.

"That's why I'm here," she agreed. "Now, are you going to answer me?"

Gus had no choice. One way or another, he had to get this woman out of his system. Until he did, he would have no peace. He couldn't even run again as long as she held him here.
