- Summary
- "Maya Ishida is no stranger to sorrow. Torn from her artist father and native Japan as a child, raised by her cold, ambitious mother in Minneapolis, she has finally put together a life with few disruptions: a safe marriage to a man who never asks any questions, a quiet job weaving clothes in a country studio. The past is no more than a story she vaguely remembers; the present is a gray landscape of solitary pleasures and modest expectations.".
- "But when her father dies, Maya is pulled back into the memory of their parting. In the stories he had told her about Orpheus and Eurydice and the tennyo, a mythic Japanese figure, Maya's father had taught her that love means making the sacrifice of letting go, and so she had walked away from him without looking back. Twenty-four years later, holding her father's last sketch, Maya know she can avoid looking back no longer.
- She must question her placid marriage, her decision not be become an artist, and even the precarious peace she made with her mother, before she can be released - to feel passion, risk change, and fall in love."--BOOK JACKET.
