First line
Whenever M.B. Milhause has found herself in a group in which people trade stories of their lives' most dramatic moments-such stories used to arise often in the box-cramped room where M.B. and her work chums took coffee breaks, and M.B. still hears them at the hairdresser, at the doctor's office-at such times, M.B. has always trotted out her Ferris wheel story.
From the rear cover
Drunk, and driving a van down a Florida highway, Carter Clay, a Vietnam vet at loose ends, irrevocably shatters the lives of the Altiz family, killing Joe and seriously injuring his wife, Katherine, and their daughter, Jersey, in a hit-and-run accident. Horrified, Clay seeks redemption, while still concealing his culpability, by becoming the questionable caretaker of the two survivors' damaged lives -- eventually imposing upon them the baggage of his past and his haphazard faith in God. Suspenseful, psychologically complex, and inhabited by characters that will haunt your memory long after you have turned the last page, Carter Clay is a finely wrought tale of the frailty of identity and the possibility of redemption.
