She calls her book Three Stages of Amazement and sets it in San Francisco toward the end of the "dot com" craze. “Edgarian ( Rise the Euphrates) spares no emotion in this big, lovely second novel about decent people falling apart under the demands that there be more than 24 hours in a day and more than parental determination to juggle life's realities against the heart's desire.” ![]()
