Valentine endlessly listens to her mother's old copy of "Embraceable You" on an old phonograph, but her own life hardly begs for romance. Her deepening friendship with a quadriplegic woman offers a welcome, if frustrating, sense of dependence, but romantic love is nowhere in sight. Then along comes a dread-locked and scarred local with a hidden history and a compelling present. Will Valentine find the embrace she longs for? |

| Publisher Description: Biting and gentle, hard-edged and hopeful . . . a beautiful fable of love and power, hiding and seeking, woundedness and redemption. When a "lizard woman," a self-mutilating preacher, a tattoed monk, and a sleazy lobbyist find themselves in the same North Carolina town one winter, their lives are edging precariously close to disaster . . . and improbably close to grace. |
