TWO MONTREALERS return to Miami for a late winter vacation. Caitlin and Carmen's goal is to relax and recuperate from the stresses and heartaches of modern living. But Miami is not that simple. When Harris Chalmer throws two bags of cash out his Hummer window, the women become embroiled in a deadly chase and an unforgiving world where they don't belong. Sheila Kindellan-Sheehan, bestselling author of Sheila's Take, takes her reader on a riveting exploration of homelessness, crime, selfishness, the psychology of loss and greed, the many faces of courage and nobility, the uncertain results of effort and, ultimately, the need for catalysts on the road to the discovery of one's true self. The human characters are not the only things in flux. Kindellan's Miami is fast becoming a stranger to itself. Decades-old condos and motels are being replaced by monster developments; traditional winter residents by new ethnic groups; laid-back sun-worshippers by ruthless, greedy rich kids. The choices are stark: residents, transients and tourists must adapt, move on or die.
