Publisher's Synopsis
"Maybe I headed West to find my father. Or maybe losing custody of my baby had something to do with it. Or maybe I went because I bought this ten year old Packard from a sweet old lady who never drove it under ninety-a fifty-two Caribbean convertible the color of a ripe tomato. So who knows-maybe it was just the car that wanted to go." A fable of Marilyn Monroe and the Kennedys and a young woman named Iris Odell who befriends Marilyn during the weeks preceeding her death. Iris soon realizes that despite everyone's affection for the Marilyn, too many people have too many reasons to want her dead.
