 During Hurricane Katrina, Patriarch Dominic Fontaine meets his freakish demise—the rubble of his “hurricane-proof” mansion all around him—and no one suspects that a vengeful woman came to kill him.When the planned murder becomes instead "euthanasia by God," Sienna Bachman, learns that karma can come in two flavors; but she fears that she may taste only one. In her effort to make sense of recent events, she crosses paths with Jerrin Boudreaux, the estranged son of Dominic Fontaine. Realizing her growing affection for him, she is tortured by the knowledge that she might eventually have to confess her sordid history with his father, to include a new development she fears will be an insurmountable obstacle. Meanwhile, Jerrin must deal not only with the specter of his father's death, but with the needs of his agoraphobic sister, Cherise, who never understood her brother's hatred of their father. Jerrin's loathing only grows as Dominic's past betrayal is compounded by still more family secrets. ...like the boy who can't find his mother after the storm; who is stranded with only a sealed envelope his mother told him to open if something happened to her. In the aftermath of the worst hurricane in American history, the contents of a safe deposit box spur the Fontaine offspring into a journey of enlightenment and self-discovery as their lives converge with strangers, and the mysteries of karma, hope, and synchronicity take over.
