Eli Phoenix has spent his entire life pursuing success. From his childhood in Iowa to stops in Michigan, New Jersey, California and New York, he is on a career fast track. Always a step ahead of his peers, his unrelenting thirst for accomplishment is seductive, but comes with risks. Over the years, he's left behind a path littered with broken relationships, broken hearts and broken promises.
But his fishing trip to Alaska soon rearranges his life and his priorities. For the first time, Eli is not in control of the situation surrounding him or his emotions, but instead is on a fast-moving train of life-changing complexity. Over the course of six quick days, Eli's ambition gives way to indulgence, which changes and haunts him for the rest of his life.
Six Days in September, tells the story of how ordinary lives become intertwined through extraordinary events. Far more than a simple fishing trip, these six days in September redefine who Eli and India are and who they will be in the future. A beautiful, romantic novel choked with conflict, emotion and intrigue, Six Days in September is a surprising and loving account of how quickly life can change for the better and retreat just as fast.
