Publisher's Synopsis
The cities no longer interest Joe Goldberg. He has had enough of the crap and the phonies, and of love. On a tiny island in the Pacific Northwest, he is now saying hello to nature and the basic pleasures. He can just breathe for the first time in a very long time.
He accepts a position at the neighborhood library because he is knowledgeable about books, and it's there that he meets Mary Kay DiMarco. Librarian. Joe won't interfer or become fixated. He'll win her over in the traditional manner by lending a sympathetic ear and a helping hand. They'll both eventually recover from their injuries and have their happily ever after in this tranquil hamlet.
