Publisher's Synopsis
Claude meets Priscilla in the Rosebud, a forgotten and worn-down drug den. He is a deputy sheriff who believes in second and third and fourth chances, and Priscilla lives from one fix to the next. She agrees to go on a journey with him, on the condition that their pasts remain their own. Claude's son Andy joins them and is witness to the journey that takes the trio in search of a family legacy that will both shape the future and confront the past. Along the way, there is no clear savior or good deed among them-only train rides, addiction, and a belief in unspoken promises. This second story in a trilogy acknowledges the conversation that began in Ellipses...between Quentin and Joanna, and it moves forward by questioning what it means to witness and to carry memory. Spiral's Edge is a movement between a certain past and an unknowing present that makes it possible to consider the meaning and measure of the way time provides both deep scars and the ultimate choice to heal.
