Description
Maria's love for Russell gets her out of the ghetto, but as her love for him fades after the birth of their son, Russell's love takes a mad, possessive turn that consumes his being and endangers his entire family.
First Sentence
In a cypress grove just beyond Point Reyes there is a shrine where for centuries survivors of shipwreck, fire and earthquake have given thanks for their escape from death and, to commemorate their moment of salvation, have offered some token: a piece of driftwood that bore them to shore, the charred blanket that put the fire out, the fallen tile, the shattered glass, sometimes the riven stone itself.
