Fight or flight?

Jane Elliott has tried both.

Surfing, letting the waves take her. Teaching Latin, clutching at its rules to feel safe. Safe from a lover, safe from her friends, safe from her mother's death—and her guilt. A guilt that has her flinching from love and embracing pain. And now she lies in a hospital bed, alone. Set against the landscapes and seascapes of Hawaii, this is a story of one woman's courage and her struggle to find a balance between what she desires and what she deserves. Gripping and emotional, Red Audrey and the Roping is also a remarkable literary achievement. The breathtaking prose evokes setting, characters, and relationships with equal grace. Splintered fragments of narrative come together to form a seamless suspenseful story that flows effortlessly to its dramatic conclusion. This is a journey that will transform its readers as well as Jane.
