What does...A prostitute,
A corrupt businessman, and
A disfigured young woman have in common with a mysterious, old homeless man who carries a green suitcase?
The old man comes into people’s lives because it is important for them to experience the visions that he is somehow able to show them—visions that even he doesn’t understand. But whoever he connects with will go through a transformation that will change the course of their life, for better or worse. The old man has no memory of who he is or even what the suitcase holds. But one day he will find out all about his own secret and dark past…
This story is magical realism, a mix of fantasy/paranormal, a mystery that needs to be solved, and a man and woman who will finally realize that they were meant to come into each other’s lives and remain forever.

on Sep. 08, 2012 :
I was captivated by Doanes' unique writing style and refreshingly original storyline. The sheer 'what's gonna happen next' factor that is embedded into the plot from the very beginning kept me eagerly turning the pages. The vivid use of imagery really brings this story to life.
The realistic dialogue and attention to detail add depth to the characters, who each face their own 'real-life' problems. I was fascinated by the way the author connected the different events in the book, without revealing the mystery too early.
I was amazed by whom the 'bad guy' turned out to be, and I found the ending very satisfying…the way it all came together. This is a great mystery with just the right mix of supernatural.
