“Book Descriptions: Eddie Miles is a Chicago cabdriver who spends most of his waking hours behind the wheel of his night-shift taxi. His only friends are a small circle of fellow cabbies. He lost his wife to divorce years ago. She then moved west out to Southern California, taking their nine-year-old daughter Laura along for the ride. When Laura shows up unexpectedly one winter day, Eddie thinks it’s the answer to his prayers. She’s no longer a little girl. She’s 18 and to Eddie she’s smart, funny, and beautiful. But she won’t talk about why she suddenly decided to come home to Chicago. Eddie’s afraid to push for answers. He’s afraid the bubble will pop and one day it does. Eddie is soon on his way to California, in search of answers to his many unasked questions.
