Back Cover:
Merritt Fowler is a natural caretaker-of her physician husband Pom, her lovely, fragile daughter Glynn, her erratic younger sister Laura, and even her destructive mother in law.
Exhausted and confused, Merritt no longer knows who she is or what is important to her. She only knows that she
is searching for something.
When a family argument sends Glynn running from her Atlanta home to her Aunt Laura in Hollywood, Merritt feels compelled to follow. On impulse, the three women take off in Laura's red Mustang convertable, barrelling up the wild coast from the Palm Springs Desert to the Santa Cruz Mountains outside San Francisco-earthquake country.
There in the protective shade of the great redwoods, Merritt, Glynn, and Laura struggle to see if the widening fissures between mother, daughter and sister can be healed, as they search for the bedrock of strength and courage that can save them.
