A woman's world or a guy's world? It is all a matter of perspective.

The vision of the '90s has drastically changed the paradigm of modern society. There is no normal, average, or common denominator with which a life can be measured. This is the world of Nomad's Land. Daytime actors are nighttime bartenders. Each realm has different relationships and "eyes" that perceive others with their own concocted and twisted beliefs.

This is the temperament at Justin's Place, a bar just like any other. Though Cat tries to enter quietly and discreetly, her condition is evident. The darkened booth doesn't dissuade the curious eyes. Questioning minds begin their suspicions. Where has she been? Why has she returned? But most important where is Danny? Her reply will be. "He's gone. Finito, Muerto. Dead."

Cat's life began with many imbalances and now it's been turned inside out. What will become her guiding force, her heart or her head?

My guiding force in reading a book is whether it meets my expectations--and when I hit the page with explicit and crude sexual language (and was NOT expecting it), I decided this book was not for me--or anyone who agrees that explicit language in a book can turn off a certain portion of readers, me being one of them.
