Effie is a self-proclaimed T'ai Chi warrior who, as Jane, decides to run away from Alan, her husband of one month, because he's full of hot air. Within hours, she runs into Gled, the single father of an adorable little boy and, as Effie, signs on to be the boy's nanny for the summer, neglecting to mention that she isn't single. When it turns out that Alan and Gled both summer in the same community, Jane's little lie of omission begins to take on enormous dimension. One lie leads to another until there is virtually no one in this story who hasn't bent the truth at some point. By the end, Effie will create a new life for herself and for all those she loves. "Complex, delightful, amusing...the author makes eloquence look easy." (New York Times)
