In this vibrant story by Oakland writer Travis Alan Lafferty, Maya Morales meets Doug Mahoney and rescues him from terminal celibacy. We meet her creative family and follow them as they live, love, and evolve in a world of music, nature, social movements, and thrilling motorcycle trips. Written during the tumultuous year of 2020, the narrative explores themes of romance, personal growth, corporate greed, racial oppression, mass protests, and addiction recovery with warmth, humor, and compassion. Tension builds as two violent thugs threaten the family, culminating in a harrowing car chase. Each character is developed with depth and nuance, with their lives intertwining in intricate drama, and explicit dialogue is used throughout to bring them to life.
