Synopsis
"When one of her best friends gives her a complete astrological reading for Christmas, Mary Forrest is a bit disappointed. She was hoping for a Coach purse, or maybe something in cashmere. But despite Mary's skepticism, the reading proves prophetic.". "Mary's sun sign is ruled by fire, her moon by water, she is told by the Indian astrologer. Her life, so far, has been ruled by the uneasy wariness of someone who's been abandoned by a parent. She's survived 29 years but must finally become an adult, she is informed, because this is the year of her Saturn Return. If she doesn't face her issues now she'll have to wait for the next Saturn Return - another 29 years - to resolve them."--BOOK JACKET.
