No One Ever Really Leaves Key West.In a hotel, on the northeast side of Key West, Florida, Erin Hardinger is beginning spring break without her medications.For the first time in more than a decade, she is seeing the world without the pharmaceutical filter that her mother placed on her as a child. Beneath the surface of the mundane and absurd fixtures of Key West's tourist trade, a world of the living and the dead confronts Erin at every turn. The torn edges of perception and reality soon spill over into the lives of her companions and strangers; a crooked doctor on the run from the mob, the panic stricken wife of a retired optometrist, and a group of college students all find the edges of their reality blurred. Is it Erin's awakening that is causing this, or is it the hotel,
or is it Key West itself?
