At 25, Bryan McMurphy, a shy, good-looking young man, leaves his hometown in Texas by bus to join a band in Canada. Out of cash and stranded in Montana, he meets childless middle-aged Blanca, who gives him shelter. Sharply intelligent but deeply wounded, Bryan responds to Blanca's attention by beginning to open up. Blanca feels compelled to discover the undercurrent of his troubled escapades and risks being drawn into his compulsive, sado-masochistic and self-destructive behavior. – Ute Carson
About the Author
Ute Maria Elisabeth Gräfin von Hardenberg-Carson was born on the Baltic Coast in Köslin, Pomerania, shortly after the beginning of World War II. As Russian forces swept toward central Europe, she fled westward with her mother and grandmother, settling in what was to become West Germany. There she went to school and attended the Universities of Hamburg and Mainz. Immigrating to America in 1962, she completed her masters at the University of Rochester, becoming a college instructor of German Language and Literature, and Women's Studies.
