Now, two decades later, he moves from one woman toanother, pointedly avoiding love—the thing he wants most but has never knownhow to give or take. Jody trusts only his wise and faithful dog Einstein totruly understand him and the darkness that haunts his life even in the brightlight of a summer’s day.
