Debut Novel is Romantic Misadventure on a Roller-Coaster Road Trip

Author Lee Schulstad spins the tale of a woman who finally has it all, only to have it all messed up by a dim-witted angel in A Finger in the Water

Sammamish, Wash. (PRWEB) November 15, 2007 -- A Finger in the Water by Lee Schulstad gives new meaning to the term "heaven sent" in a story about people who are not what they seem and things that are not supposed to happen.

In A Finger in the Water, Rita Wiest sets out on a road trip in her new Mercedes sedan thinking her life couldn't be better - she won the state lottery, she is engaged to be married, and she is free of the nine-to-five rut. Then a naïve and somewhat dim-witted angel named Esau lands on the hood of her car by mistake. Thinking he is some sort of monk, she invites him along on her trip. Once they reach Rita's intended destination, her charmed life begins to unravel. She alienates the people closest to her, has a near brush with death, and loses Esau in a mysterious incident at a roadside stop. Rita's life has hit rock bottom, but Esau returns to make amends for his earlier misdeeds and with his help she finds a new and unexpected direction.

Written in sleek, stylish prose that steps outside the genre box, A Finger in the Water is a cozy read to savor on a dark winter afternoon.
