Toni Fuhrman, with her usual grace and delicacy, tackles the many kinds of passion and love as a dying man relives the conflicts of his life. We experience Pete Cameron’s life with him, his passion for Maggie and his equally enduring love of his family. His longing for a son, his bond with his wife, his loyalty to his adopted twins all intertwine and reveal the inner conflicts of a man who has loves both deeply and irrepressibly. At the same time, as he lies dying, we engage with the loyalty and acceptance of those who love him still. As always, Toni probes both the ecstasy and the anguish of the human soul with a gentle, compassionate hand.
