Lisey Debusher Landon lost her husband, Scott, two years ago, after a 25 yr. marriage of the most profound and sometimes frightening intimacy. Scott was an award winning, bestselling novelist and a very complicated man. Early in their relationship, before they married, Lisey had to learn from him about books and blood and bools. Later, she understood that there was a place Scott went - a place that both terrified and healed him, that could eat him alive or give him the ideas he needed in order to live. Now it's Lisey's turn to face Scott's demons, Lisey's turn to go to Boo'ya Moon. What begins as a widows effort to sort through the papers of celebrated husband becomes a nearly fatal journey into the darkness he inhabited.
Lisey's story is about the wellsprings of creativity, the temptations of madenss, and the secret language of love.
