Like White, Scattering Flowers

by Matts Djos

Overview

- - Two people who can't get enough of life and overstep the boundaries of conformity with neither the wisdom to turn away nor the discretion to recognize what could destroy them . . . .

-- Seattle, 1956: ---- Meet Ginny and Nathan Ecklund, the most perfect and imperfect match imaginable. Their love is fragile and stormy, like the Great Northwest where they sail and ski, heedless of the natural dangers that could destroy them. Fueled by alcohol and illusions, they wander the city and savor every kind of risk the dregs and jazz joints have to offer. The path they have chosen is pure madness. When the fantasies take a new turn and the alcohol and the nightmares threaten their love, they are faced with a terrifying decision: hold tight to their illusions or commence the long, hard journey to sobriety and hope.

The decision is theirs alone to make and theirs alone to suffer, although it may not turn out as they expected.
