“Book Descriptions: There's something very strange going on in Fairfax, California. Joe Johnson is on the hunt for dying people while his wife stares into space and flies land on her nose; the Snelling kids fester in a hippie backwater and pretend that they haven't just killed their grandfather; and Morag, multi-bigamist from the Scottish Highlands, makes some rash decisions when diagnosed with terminal cancer by Manuel - who may or may not be a doctor. Meanwhile, the ghost of Consuela threads her way through all the stories, oblivious to the ever-watching Connie - who sees everything from the attic of the Gentle Valleys Hospice. Cynthia Rogerson's second novel is a funny and life-affirming tale about the courage to love in the face of death.” DRIVE
