In the fictional Northern California city of San Andreas de Pacifico, the ground is unstable. In these twelve unexpected love stories, so are many of the people. A woman hears the elephants speak, but only before earthquakes. A long-married couple scales a cemetery wall to regain their passion. A young mother dreams of planting a poison garden. An old man, losing himself to dementia, finds an abandoned baby. Strangers meet on an overnight bus and alter each other’s lives. A struggling writer gains freedom in her effort to rescue a beached whale. San Andreas evokes the beauties and vulnerabilities of the human condition and explores life’s shaky ground—physical, emotional, and psychological. Award-winning author Ericka Lutz (The Edge of Maybe) brings her distinctive, unflinching, lyrical voice to these unforgettable characters who yearn for connection—with each other and the natural world.
