Picked this up at my mil's Christmas in July bazaar.

From the cover -
A woman who leads a quiet life, keeping other people at a cool distance, one day utters an idle wish to be struck by lightning - and her wish is granted. Instead of killing her, this cataclysmic event marks a strange and powerful new beginning as the woman soon finds herself drawn into a passionate relationship with another survivor of a lightning strike, a mysterious stranger who harbors dark secrets. Their affair becomes the center of a riveting story of loss, love, and redemption, a novel that reveals Alice Hoffman at the very height of her powers.

Sadly, MaryZee passed suddenly in September 2012. MaryZee's daughter is now ready to rehome her mom's books and I was willing to collect and redistribute them to keep her literary legacy alive.

MaryZee was a enthusiastic evangelist for BookCrossing and I am glad I had the opportunity to know her. She is very much missed, and I'm proud to be able to receive some of her books to share with the world.

Left on one of the benches on the east side of the park.

Found this in Carlyle Square on my way back from a Starbucks run. I'm an avid reader, so I'm surprised I'd never heard of Book Crossing before. What a cute idea! Just based on the description this probably isn't a book I'd pick out for myself, but I'll definitely give it a try before I release it back into the wild :)
