When her marriage falls apart, Alicia Burrowes refuses to resign herself to spending her twilight years alone. Packing her bags and heading to Guatemala, she purchases a small condo in the charming, colonial city of Antigua. Alicia is a writer and delights in the solitude-the mental and emotional space-to craft her stories. But when a story about a robbery causes her path to cross with American agent Dean Carr, as well as mysterious Guatemalan Efrem Sanchez, the interactions threaten her emotional equilibrium. Alicia is in her early sixties and Efrem is, well, much younger. Despite the age difference, however, an attraction develops between the two that they cannot deny-one that Dean Carr refuses to support. Feeling protective of Alicia, Dean eyes Efrem with suspicion because of his family's involvement in Guatemala's political and social upheaval. But Alicia is intrigued and falling quickly for Efrem...even though her very safety may be threatened. Perfect for those looking for a savvy contemporary romance, Demented: A Love Story will delight fans of Eat, Pray, Love -and anyone else who believes that it's never too late to find love in even the most surprising places.
