Theresa Weir’s life is an edgy dance built by loneliness, fierce determination and independence.
Since her parents’ breakup, her family’s always been on the move, driven by bad decisions, chasing the mirage of good luck. Theresa now works in her uncle’s rundown bar plunked down in farming country – dull, predictable, mind numbing work. Until Adrian Curtis walks in – there is instant attraction between them but Weir is warned off from Adrian and the curse that hampers the Curtis Farm. He seems different for a farmer – sensitive, artistic, a soul alive in a dull place – sharply different from his parents’ rigid tradition as farmers. Soon they marry and Weir now has the stability she has craved but its weight is crushing, threatening their new life together to certain doom. Running from problems is what Weir knows from her family yet her unwillingness to quit her new life strengthens her marriage with Adrian in profound ways. Weir’s intensely graceful memoir grows taller and stronger through her writing. This quiet book stays with you in wonderful ways. --Marilyn |
