Every once in a while a tale so unusual will land in your office. Luna came to me and I opened it up. From there on I was hooked. Luna put an ad in the Personal Section of the paper. Zach, who is married, answers the ad on a lark. They meet in the park. Zack is the only letter that Luna answers. She is nothing like Zach imagined. Plain and thin with very short, very straight hair and completely flat where her breasts should have been. Luna is mystical and refers to her father, the river as well as other mythologial comments. Oddly enough Zach is drawn in by this woman and after she takes him on her favorite rides, roller coasters he learns not to be terrified of them. Zach is beginning to see that his marriage is no good. His wife leaves him when she finds out about Luna. Zach and Luna get together for a relationship that us not ordinary but draws the reader into to this odd little story. I enjoyed it and I take pleasure in recommending a new author who writes the way I like to read.
