  <default-description>&lt;p&gt; Sunny Cooper has been running since she was eighteen&#8212;from the New Mexican commune where she grew up . . . and from the haunting memory of the freak accident that took the life of her younger sister. Now, at thirty-two, Sunny voices radio spots in Albuquerque while struggling to hold on to a floundering relationship. But when a second tragic accident&#8212;and the devastating truths that come to light in its aftermath&#8212;turns her world upside down, Sunny runs again. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; In the town of Harmony on San Miguel Island, she takes a new job, learns to ride a motorcycle, and makes some surprising new friends. But the past is never far behind. A startling discovery&#8212;along with an emotional and revelatory reunion with her estranged mother&#8212;is forcing Sunny to step out from the shadows of yesterday to embrace an uncertain future. &lt;/p&gt;</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[This book made me want to go to San Miguel, which does not exist, unfortunately.  A great story and satisfying read despite concluding with several loose ends.  I hope Ms. Hendricks will consider a sequel.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Hendricks always tells a good story.  This one has a likable heroine who experiences a tragedy and finds a new life.  The story line intertwines her past as a child growing up on a commune with the present.  The life on the island appeals to me!]]></body>
