Publisher's Synopsis
No One Ever Really Leaves Key West.
In a hotel, on the northeast side of Key West, Florida, Erin Hardinger is beginning spring break
without her medications.For the first time in more than a decade, she is seeing the world
without the pharmaceutical filter that her mother placed on her as a child. Beneath the surface
of the mundane and absurd fixtures of Key West's tourist trade, a world of the living and the
dead confronts Erin at every turn. The torn edges of perception and reality soon spill over into
the lives of her companions and strangers; a crooked doctor on the run from the mob, the panic
stricken wife of a retired optometrist, and a group of college students all find the edges of their
reality blurred. Is it Erin's awakening that is causing this, or is it the hotel,
" or is it Key West itself?"
