Publisher's Synopsis
Vi and Cal were getting used to married life, and Vi was looking forward to life as a normal woman, and not posing a danger to her husband`s sanity. But there were signs hinting that her past was not really passed That painting that Lee had done of Vi, a souvenir of their last encounter, proved to be a reminder of all that she left behind, and even more. The newly born twins were a joy, especially Howie. Ruth was different, however. Very different. Lee has discovered that Rabbi Jacobs has a special scroll in his massive and unorganised collection of manuscripts, one far more unusual than he imagines. It belongs to Lee, and she is set on regaining it. That scroll describes her ancient role, one that she guards jealously. Her role as The Gatekeeper. *** Philip Mann lives in the Outremont section of Montreal, where he baffles his neighbours with the bizarre spirit which occupies him from time to time. His wife simply shakes her head when that happens.
