He's escaped from a maximum-security penitentiary designed to house the most ruthless of criminals. Now alleged biker gang leader Dace Devereux is on the run, wanted for inciting one of the biggest prison riots in history. But it's not the cops, or the Canadian penal system, that dominate Dace's thoughts. Instead, it's his cousin Liza-a gifted college student, now with child, beginning her master's degree at the University of Toronto.
As Dace, filled with thoughts of his cousin, migrates south to Mexico to find where the monarch butterflies spend their winter, Liza faces a new set of challenges at home in Maitland. Forced to balance her studies, the trials of new motherhood, and the consequences of her unconventional situation, she remains passionately in love with Dace-and will go to any lengths to help her soul mate clear his name.
The second of three novels about the Devereux cousins, Feeling for the Air combines the electricity of a forbidden romance in the early 1970s with breathtaking plot twists as two lovers who wish to roam as wild and free as butterflies are dealt a difficult and unforgiving fate.
About the Author: Karen E. Black is an author and reference librarian who majored in sociology at the University of Western Ontario before receiving her master's in library science from the University of Toronto. As an undergraduate, she met her husband while working at a campus pub-she was a waitress, and he was a doorman.
Black currently lives with her family in Toronto, the same city where she was born. She credits her work as a reference librarian to helping pay for her children's "artsy" educations, vacations with her husband, and renovations and repairs to their century-old home.
After completing her fair share of family research, Black came to learn that most people are the result of ancestors who married their cousins-though she would like to point out, much to her children's relief, that she and her husband are not related in the slightest.
