Ellen Gerber wasn't an ambitious young woman, she just wanted to run her chocolate shop in peace. Was that asking too much? Maybe. Define 'peace'. She'd come of age in the 60s and 70s, a time of Flower Power and consciousness-raising, campus demonstrations, racial unrest, political turmoil, and changing societal norms. Peace was a fleeting notion, but there was a flicker of hope on the horizon. Ellen, who'd fled the hedonistic California scene, was newly settled on the little island of Siesta Key, Florida. She'd wanted a tranquil existence, instead was caught in a culture clash that promoted an 'if it feels good, do it,' mentality, against one that taught, 'die to self, and in so doing, find life'. Complicating matters was the tall, dark, handsome, and totally unsuitable man named Finn who just wouldn't go away. What's a girl to do? Ellen would soon find that she was not alone; and her journey, begun in California, would take her much farther than she ever would have imagined.
