Produktbeschreibung
When Rossandra White walks into her Laguna Beach home one day to find that her husband of twenty-five years has disappeared-leaving behind only a cryptic, hastily written note on the kitchen counter as an explanation-she knows he'll come back. It's not the first time this has happened, and she trusts that their marriage, though tumultuous, will endure. But she soon learns that this time is different-and as new information comes to light, she realizes that the cracks in their relationship may have deepened past the point of repair. ; In the midst of this turmoil, White's physically and mentally disabled younger brother needs her help. She returns to South Africa, land of her birth, to answer his call-and when she comes back to California, she finds that her dog Sweetpea, who for years has served as a vital emotional link between herself and her husband, has begun to succumb to a fatal illness. Ultimately, it is this core-rattling confluence of crises that forces White to face her own demons and make a decision: stay in a marriage that's crumbling before her eyes, or leave her husband and forge a new life for herself.
Autorenporträt
Rossandra White, a fourth generation South African, was raised in Nkana, Zambia where she had a baboon for a pet, learned to tell a log from a crocodile, and whistle through her tongue. Family holidays were either down to South Africa to visit family, day trips across the border to the Congo, or trips up to east Africa. Enamored with everything American, she emigrated to the States at twenty-three. Eleven years later she moved to the canyon in Laguna Beach, where she and her husband at the time made pottery and sold their wares at the Sawdust and various festivals in Southern California. She started writing to quiet the voices from the past back home in Africa. The result: two young adult novels, Monkey's Wedding, and Mine Dances, about family, race, and the dark magic of a society poised on the brink of change. The Kindle for Monkey's Wedding was published by Kindle Press on January 31, 2017. The unraveling of her marriage, along with a crisis back home in Africa resulted in her memoir, Loveyoubye: Holding Fast, Letting Go, and Then There's the Dog, published by SWP in 2014. She still lives in the canyon with her two Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Jake and Fergie, with whom she fights for space in her bed. When she's not writing, she's at the gym or hiking the hills behind her home in Laguna canyon.
