A year ago, Jade Engler s younger brother Benjamin was found beaten to death at the edge of their Paradise, Nebraska, farm. The event tore their family apart: the farm failed; Jade s father, despondent, has taken up with a sugary sweet younger woman; her mother ran off without a word.Jade herself responded by seducing any boy she thought might be responsible for her brother s death. Only recently had she begun to settle down-and now she s discovered she s pregnant. Jade is paralyzed by indecision yet terrified of staying in Paradise.And so, off she goes.From the first leg of her journey, where she works as an au pair to a rich Connecticut family, to a trip back to the Midwest and then onto San Francisco, which she romantically hopes will inspire her the way the same westward journey inspired her great-great-grandmother over a hundred years ago, Jade looks for answers. What she learns has more to do with the accidents along the way, as her mother might have told her: "How could one slip of a letter from Jane to Jade be so prophetic?"In one of Tricia Bauer s lyrical, heartfelt, even humorous novels, that s the way life goes.
