Michael Parker's vast and involving novel about pirates and slaves, treason and treasures, madness and devotion, takes place on a tiny island battered by storms and cut off from the world. Inspired by two little-known moments in history, it begins in 1813, when Theodosia Burr, en route to New York by ship to meet her father, Aaron Burr, disappears off the coast of North Carolina. It ends a hundred and fifty years later, when the last three inhabitants of a remote island?two elderly white women and the black man who takes care of them?are forced to leave their beloved spot of land. Parker tells an enduring story about what we'll sacrifice for love, and what we won't.

When Harry Douglas, the new American Ambassador to England, tells his family he is going to Scotland to play golf, his wife and daughter announce plans of their own. Their Butler, Perkins, watches stoically as each leaves then secretly returns for a romantic rendezvous in the empty house.

These eleven arresting, comic, and moving stories by acclaimed writer Michael Parker testify to the driving force of love, the lengths to which we'll go to claim it and pursue it, the delusions we'll float to keep it going, the torment that goes part and parcel with it. And despite all of the above, the absolute necessity of it, no matter its consequences. Whether it's a college student undone by the boy who leaves her, or the boyfriend intent on leveling old scores from high school for his lover, or the husband who discovers-in the grocery store-the woman he should have been with all along, every character, no matter how off track, wants to believe in debt and credit and payback and making the messy world-and the messy world of love-turn out neatly.
