Do you believe in miracles?Cara and Lane lost their parents on Christmas Eve five years ago to a boating accident off the Gulf of Mexico.

Izzy has had a long line of liars make up her past. It's her history that makes her in high demand as an Art Authenticator. She can spot a fraud, as well as a forgery with little effort. Izzy no longer makes room in her life for men since she knows all men lie. She would rather have a dog. That is until Caleb Matthews sweeps her off her feet with his genuine, sincere, no-nonsense way. Over time, she allows him to break down her walls of mistrust. She learns how to make allowances for people that may be flawed, and not always entirely honest. But is that wise? After 25 years of marriage she begins to suspect there's more to her husband then what she's known. No matter how she tries, she can't find anything amiss. Is her paranoia from being deceived in her past sabotaging her future or is there something more she's missing? Whatever you imagine the end will be may have a bit of truth, but you won't see the twist until it's too late.
Bill Manhire takes the books and poems he loves out of the pupil and lecture hall and returns them to their readers. In these pages unlikely people rub shoulders - Ralph Hotere and Philip Larkin, Sylivia Plath and James K.

These essays and interviews will not tell you what to think, but they will probably inspire you to do your own thinking.
