Felicia and Edgar come from different worlds. She's a nineteen-year-old student and Caribbean immigrant while he is the impetuous heir to his German family's fortune. When their ailing mothers are assigned the same Toronto hospital room, their chance encounter leads to an unlikely relationship full miscommunications, misunderstandings, and very surprising results.
Years later, Felicia's son Armistice—"Army" for short—is a teenager fixated on get-rich-quick schemes, each one more absurd than the next. The. Edgar finally re-enters Felicia's life, at yet another inopportune moment, putting this "witty, playful and disarmingly offbeat" saga on the path to its heartfelt conclusion (The Toronto Star, CA).
