Exchanging 1950s suburbia for Cambodia, a diplomat’s wife can’t wait for freedom. Until it turns deadly.
Determined to break out of her traditional box, Cynthia Jones leaves Kansas City in 1949 to find excitement and a stimulating career in Paris. Her parents’s marriage is a joke and she wants none of it. A graduate of a Quebec boarding school, she‘s fluent in French and boldly confident. Studying at Grenoble, her cool elegance captures the attention of a handsome Navy Vet. She carelessly uses his love to get what she wants: romantic dinners at chic cafes, ski trips, and cash gifts when her funds are low. Devastated when her Paris plans crumble, she reluctantly agrees to marry Geoff, who plans a US Foreign Service career. That life will give her what she needs: travel, adventure, and independence. Resentful and angry that she so easily sacrificed her dreams, their marriage is rocky. When her first son is born nine months later, she blames him for her unhappiness. Finally, Geoff gets orders for Cambodia and Cynthia feels her life can really begin. She dumps her sons with the maid and races to make up for lost time. She learns to fly and it soon takes first place in her heart.
The French Embassy warns that her flight instructor, Marius, has a mysterious background but Cynthia dismisses it. While Geoff notices the attraction between them, Cynthia is good at playing the devoted wife and mother. But Marius catches her off guard. For the first time in her life, she finds her match. He rips away the mask of pretense and control to find a woman desperate for authenticity and passion. But the cost is staggering.
Walking In Deep Sand, Inspired by True Events, is a portrait of obsession and vanity. If you like the arrogance of The Arrangement or the reckless desire of Madame Bovary, you will love this. With the exotic Moroccan locales of Tangerine, you will enjoy the views. Buy Walking In Deep Sand today.
