Opis
A Suspense-filled Story of Art, Love, Passion, and Madness
Only in the glaring light of hindsight does aspiring surgeon Kate Murphy understand that she was groomed for the path she&'s taken. Raised by a widowed dad and a misshapen, sometimes comical trio of parental surrogates from Murphy&'s Pub, her father&'s Irish bar in San Francisco, Kate has never understood how protected she is-but when she learns that her well-meaning family has hidden bitter truths about her mother&'s mental illness and death, the rest of her family history unravels. Kate is still recovering from her family&'s deception when she becomes involved with Jake Bloom-a charming artist different than anyone she&'s ever known. When she experiences his sculptures on Ocean Beach, she is forever changed; in the months that follow, Jake reveals beauty Kate has never noticed, and exposes her to spontaneity, sensuality, and love deeper than she&'d imagined it could be. Only Mary K-Kate&'s hard-edged best friend who doesn&'t miss a thing and names bull when she sees it-is immune to Jake&'s charms. She sees the potential for danger in Jake, and, of course, she says so. Caught between her newfound passion and her friendship, Kate dismisses her friend&'s warnings. Ultimately, it isn&'t until she is in too deep, with a daughter on the way, that Kate understands what Mary K feared on her behalf. Fire & Water is a story of navigating the treacherous territory of passionate love, friendship, and family devotion-and of how love is always a matter of life and death.
