A Lucky Breath

On the day she runs away from her husband, everything goes just as Diana has planned. It won't

be long, however, until her careful design unravels to the point where she finds herself nearly

homeless in Costa Rica's capital city.

Time fragments in this book, and travels in two directions at once. Spliced together with a

harrowing series of events that leave her stunned and in danger, Diana relives her romance with

the home she loved in the village of Los Rios and the man she married there.

Spartan prose poetry relates the story moving forward, while an image-dense presentation of life

in rural Costa Rica takes us back further and further in time, unfolding layers of depth that make

this book impossible to put down.
