Published in 2015. 426 pages.
The words in this third person memoir were triggered by the entanglement between Mug, a recently divorced woman, and Michael, a complex, mendacious, Scottish baggage handler who was hiding many shocking secrets.

The purpose of this book changed into a desperate effort to make sense of unfolding, bizarre events and to help them both deal with the aftermath.
