Description
In this second of the trilogy, Christine drives with her new young lover, Michael, on a rainy night to dig a hole for her father's cremated remains. Tomorrow at the peaceful cemetery, she'll conduct memorial services for her alcoholic father. Christine struggles with her art, painting hack seascapes for a living while the real artist inside wants desperately to succeed. Although an excellent artist, she never feels good enough. She's now making a fresh start in Florida after recent bad times in Louisiana, including the newly divorced Angelo who won't leave her alone. Determined to find the source of her self-defeating behavior.and why her relationships always fail.Christine suspects her alcoholic father is implicated. When the Artists Gallery asks her to do a 20-year retrospective of her paintings, Christine knows it's time to find answers. She'll mine old memories and use current dreams. As Christine emotionally separates from Angelo and her past, Michael, the too-young lover, intrigues, exasperates, and slowly melts her heart. Almost mystically, inevitably, Christine's dreams unfold. She integrates sexual, artistic, work selves, and dreams herself whole. Now with her father's perversity behind her, and her own, Christine is free to make new choices.
