About the Book

A collection of stories about looking for love and finding love-not to mention heartbreak and calamity. Falling out of love can mean falling in love as Elle discovers in the opening novella set in the Hawaiian islands. Between lu'aus and surfing, the summer she turns forty is slipping away. Dylan, her Irish husband and father of their two teenage boys, eight-year-old son, Winki, and six-year-old, daughter, Piper, is stuck in L.A. writing code to save the solar system. Or so he says. Can't get away to save his soul. On the garden isle of Kauai, Elle falls under the spell of Kimo, his two brothers, and Auntie Lailu, who is Ali'i and descended from the great kings. And there is Kimo's wide-flung family of brothers, cousins and more cousins. Before it all sorts itself out, Elle learns that the Hawaiian spirit of aloha means finding family-ohana-in all the oddest places. "Mum, if someone wants to love you, you should let them," says her son, Micah. And so she does. "The Fixer-Up Special" tells the story of Hank, a man who finds love when he quits trying to do all his own thinking. "The Water is Wide" asks if we ever stop loving, even when we are leaving someone. "The Other Side of Paradise" explores how deep love can go and how long it can last, even when hope is gone. "Finding Allie" is about fathers and daughters and learning to love really good French cheeses, even if you can't pronounce them. In "Auld Lang Syne" is the story of Lexie who writes about everything but the one thing she knows best-growing up with the Whelans.
About the Author: Nancy Sullivan is a Colorado native and lives outside of Boulder with her husband, John. She does her own art work and photography for her novels-that's after she writes them. She thinks of herself as the Woody Allen of tree pulp. When she isn't writing, she is visiting Hawaii, or riding a big strapping chestnut by the name of Wally, or tap dancing with friends, or talking pretty darn fast in French-hopefully in Paris, which is her kind of town. Slainte!
