Sightings
The story begins with the image of a woman sailing a long, slender,silver bay, her mystical blue eyes sweeping the waters for the body of her small son who drowned fifteen years before. Her husband, a famous philosopher has run off with their daughter's best friend. Their daughter, Sunny, having met and fallen in love with the mysterious and charismatic Masefield, is in Paris when she gets the news. She returns to California, Masefield promising to follow when he can. Buster, her first love, stays loyally by her to help unravel the mystery of her parents'separate disappearances. She searches the bay for her mother. Her father contacts her but won't say where he is hiding out. She waits and waits for Masefield. Sunny and Buster try to figure out what has led everyone, including themselves, to behave as they have and what it all means. In the end,it is only Massefield who understands.
"Sightings is full of symbolism, of history nearly repeating itself, of magical revelations. There is love, despair, pathos, and powerful writing that will leave the reader breathless. Characters are so rich, so finely drawn and fascinating that the plot never fails and the pace never drags. Sightings is a deliciously tantalizing enigma that invites everyone to get involved." -- Richmond Times-Dispatch
