Sabrina's Window

On a chilly morning in Taos, New Mexico, a 17-year-old paperboy breaks the window of a 31-year-old hair stylist - an accident that marks the beginning of an instant, inexplicable bond between them. In the course of one high-desert summer, Joshua and Sabrina share confidences, intercede in each other's love lives, go on a date that scandalizes the town, and confront questions of fidelity, desire, and the nature of love.

"With his trademark grace, elegance and economy, Al Riske captures the heart and teases the imagination in Sabrina's Window. Where so many others turn right, this novel turns left . . . and then hooks a U-turn, accelerates into oncoming traffic and cruises toward a scandalous conflict that presents no obvious answers. And that's exactly the kind of book I love to read."
