Publisher's summary

Having lost her husband in a car accident, Lexi Lambeau moves to the NC beach. As a 53-year old widow and mother of two sons in the Navy, she becomes bored and goes online to meet someone “different”. After evaluating potential candidates with her eclectic group of friends - a female Lutheran pastor, a 30-something NYC stay-at-home attorney/mother who is addicted to porn, and a local bookstore owner - she picks out a much younger “Physics guy” who teaches in Arizona. Much to her friends’ consternation, she decides to take a road trip with him through the west. Things happen - REALLY HAPPEN -at an accelerating pace. Hurtling to the Edge is a rollicking, suspenseful romp into the worlds of astronomy, religion, drugs, physics, alpacas, henna artists, hiking, cross dressers, body surfing, mentalists, medieval history, snakes, high speed stock trading, murder, and “relationships.” Lexi becomes involved with an array of wild characters, including Suavè Maria, The Fallen Mormon, Mama Crass, and a desert hermit, to name only a few. During her adventures, Lexi finds herself in increasingly dangerous situations, reminding her that sins of the past are not so easily scrubbed, or forgiven. Her survival now depends on her new persona, The Counselor. She, and her traveling companion, "LawrenceofAcadia" (his online name), both learn that things are often not as they seem. Above all, do not underestimate this woman as she finds herself in desperate circumstances.In this nearly 500 page novel, the reader will laugh, worry, learn, wonder, and empathize - all while being taken on a roller coaster of emotion and suspense, interspersed with informative asides on radiocarbon-dating of the Shroud of Turin, secret CIA bases, loggerhead turtles, ghost towns and the tricks of professional illusionists. Once the reader becomes invested in Lexi's choices/adventures/dilemmas, you will have difficulty putting the book down for the night - while wondering about the not-so-clear moral choices we have to make in life.
