MacGregor West receives a box of his mother's things and uses the things in the box to try to piece together the answers to the mysteries of his life. What sort of person was his mother? How did his mother die? Who was his father?
The search leads Mac to the Ware family. Instead of finding answers, Mac discovers more questions. What relationship did Mr. Ware have to Mac's mother? Could Carolyn Ware be Mac's soulmate? What is the meaning behind the photo Mac discovers of his mother in Paris?
I love quirky characters and this story is full of them, but, just now and then, I felt like the author was trying just a little too hard to make them so.
