Publisher's Synopsis
Eddie Miles is a Chicago cabdriver. He spends most of his waking hours behind the wheel of his night-shift taxi, his only friends a small circle of fellow cabbies. His wife divorced him years ago and then moved to California, taking their nine-year-old daughter, Laura, along for the ride. When Laura shows up unexpectedly one winter day, Eddie thinks it's the answer to his prayers. She's no longer a little girl. She's 18 and to Eddie she's smart, funny, and beautiful. But she won't talk about why she suddenly decided to come home. Eddie's afraid to push for answers. He's afraid the bubble will pop and one day it does. Eddie's soon on his way to California in search of answers to his many unasked questions. This is a follow up to "Nobody's Angel." The Washington Post called that book "A gem," and "just about perfect . . . Its real beauty lies in Eddie's bittersweet existence and the special romance and danger of the cabdriver's life.".
