Last Call at Smokey Row

By Pat Camalliere

Sometimes the answers to life's hardest questions come from the least likely places...

Jane Archer has been brought up right and done all the right things. She grew up in a straitlaced family, went to the right schools, got an advanced degree, taught high school biology, got married. So why does she find herself at the age of thirty-three, living alone in a distant Chicago suburb, her marriage and her career a failure, fearing she's wasted a third of her life? Why is she working in a small-town grocery store and hanging out in a neighborhood bar full of people she thinks of as oddballs and losers, some lovable and some not so much?

Trying to figure out how to reinvent herself, Jane is drawn into the lives of the ensemble of characters she meets at Sami's, with unexpected and sometimes startling or tragic results. Are they the oddballs? Or is she? And is there any hope that at Sami's she will find professional success or the love she's been afraid to admit she longs for?
