This book describes a two-week period in New York City that shapes the destiny of three generations of the Bonn family. A book signing tour ends here; Ray meets Lesa; collaboration on a new book describing the origin of entropy is born; Ray is forced into going up to bat in Yankee Stadium as a gimmick; Lesa’s biological father is found; and then Ray returns to a life down what he had always considered to be a serene little street in a hemlock forest in the northwest where he was born and raised.
