Loonglow is one of the brightest, sharpest, sexiest, and

most touching love stories in years. Like all

originals, it is deeply surprising, leading the

reader down streets never traveled before.

Anything is possible in Helen Eisenbach s

freewheeling world: passion, heartache, even

startling happiness. The one thing you can

count on is that nothing ever happens the

way you think it will.

For Clayton Lee, a handsome, South-

ern, rich young man, life finally begins at

twenty-four. Fleeing a troubled past to lose

himself in the glitter and turbulence of New

York City, he whiles away the best hours

of his youth in bars, fruitlessly mooning

over beautiful women. Then one night he

overhears the most dazzling girl he has ever

seen telling someone their affair is over.

The more she talks, the less Clay can bear

to listen to this heartrending send-off. But

nothing he has heard prepares him for what

happens when he sees who it is the beautiful

girl is leaving behind.

Loonglow is a tender, wonderfully honest

novel about being young, free, and over

twenty-one. Brimming with high spirits and

deep feeling, it reveals the human heart as

a mystery that can only be solved in the

most unexpected ways. What happens when

that mystery begins to unravel? The answer

can only be Loonglow.
