Maxi Luba, owner of a small travel agency, hasbooked her clientele all over world. She's as comfortable with theeccentricities of others as she is describing the view of the Ile la Cite onthe Seine River in Paris, walking down the Champ Elysees, or climbing the Mayanruins in Chichen Itza. Besides being a pliable factotum, she's a little bitphysic and more than a little perplexed at the strange and untimelydisappearance of a young teenage girl from her neighborhood. Maxi adverselybegins experiencing deep and foreboding dreams that consume and drag herdespairing into the horrow involving this waiflike child of the punk culture ... purplehaired Jennifer.To compound Maxi's uneasy feelings and premonitionsis the revelation of the questionable entanglement between Jennifer and ColeKennerson, the 27 year old son of Maxi's boyfriend, Rick.As the story enfolds, we are pierced by theindellible wounds that are sometimes left smoldering in the children of bitterdivorce, the lies and delusions that shred and fragment the intimaterelationship between a man and woman, and the deeping, forever, bond andinteraction between a free-spirited mother and her ingenuous, sometimes gnomicdaughter. The story challenges us with an ambling question. Do we really know thepeople we love, or merely conjure up a comfortable facsimilie with our ownuncertain and fragile vulnerability.
