Publisher's Synopsis
"Can you tell me again what got you into this mess?" she asked, like I could even remember my name at that point. "I was born." I offered. How does one change a lifetime of being a screwup at every turn? There are ways to stay out of jail but they are not necessarily around when I need them. When I thought of a happy time though, I thought of the island, where my mother-Angel-whoever-gave birth to me. She was young and seriously "not capable," whatever that meant. Dolores' life has not gone according to plan. If she had a plan. Which she doesn't. In search of she's-not-sure-what, Dolores returns to the Caribbean island of her birth and finds much more than she ever thought possible. Following her entrancing 'Spice Island, ' Ginger Rankin returns with 'Grapefruit Parlor, ' revealing once again her talent for beguiling her reader.
