The Tide Comes Around (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798996321100)

The Tide Comes Around explores how we are all strangers, uncertain travelers in a world that is never quite what we think or might positively become. Penelope, an American woman of Korean descent, has exiled herself to Los Angeles to escape a complicated love affair and her beloved brother's suicide, the tragic consequence of another life-defining event that occurred years before. Filling her days of exile by babysitting for her deceased brother's fiancée's wealthy friends and working on her dissertation, Penelope can't help but feel lost. But when Lauren starts an affair with a married neighbor, the circle quickly becomes a gauntlet of drawn knives on all of the neighborhood. Penelope realizes that she will never rest until she faces the consequences of her brother's suicide and seeks revenge on the person she believes caused her family the most pain in life, so she returns to New York. Once back home, she creates her own upheaval by falling in love with someone she did not expect. Love and anger lead her into dark and desperate places, and she must learn to bring them together in personal reconciliation.
