Life Libri GmbH Life Is Everywhere Paperback

Sand Hargrove, still aching from his little girl's crib death five years before, has always been fearful that something equally terrible might harm his three-year-old son, Joby. When Joby's mother, Lafay, takes him a thousand miles away, from Iowa to Louisiana, Sand tries to distract himself by looking for love from Rainy Mountain Cohen and her sidekick, Fletcher, while at the same time working on a feature-length film. Meanwhile, the precocious diary entries of 16-year-old Rilla Ochelmeier (forming a coming-of-age story) show her looking for love in her own way. Rilla's mom, Ellie, Lafay's best friend, is married to a man she doesn't love and is obsessed with his older brother. Ellie's ex, Rilla's 72-year-old father, is a former priest who's become a militant atheist. To Sand, Rilla seems the bright, lovely girl his baby daughter would have grown up to be. When she's almost killed in a fire, he puts his own life at risk to save her.
