"Kill a few hours enjoying the suspense and human drama." -- Publisher's Weekly review of books by John J Asher
Monroe Colson baffles his family and friends when he abruptly announces that he's moving to Mexico.
Monroe, a successful children's book illustrator from a small Texas town, insists he wants to paint without interruptions. He arrives as a stranger in San Miguel, but his plans take an unexpected turn when he rescues a vibrant young American woman who has been abandoned, penniless, by her fiancé.
As the true nature of his mysterious behavior comes to light, Monroe's reasons for leaving his old life behind is questioned by this woman who has arrived almost -- but not entirely -- too late.
This emotionally powerful and often humorous story with its controversial subject matter is a poignant testament to love and the resilience of the human heart.
