Publisher's Summary

In this novella by Gil Girion, a married couple living in Los Angeles is suddenly faced with a confusion within their relationship when the wife slips away in the middle of the night without an explanation, taking the dog with her.

Her husband is confronted with questions as to where she is going and why she left. Meanwhile, she is faced with an experience for which she was not well-prepared.

Her meetings with various people as she drives east create tension in the narrative as the listener is faced with questions about her ability to handle the unusual situations. To make matters worse, she has a malady such that she falls asleep at unexpected places, like in the middle of a conversation or standing by her car.

This short novella challenges a listener to understand what keeps a marriage together and what can drive it apart.
