Tiger, Tiger - by Galaxy Craze (Paperback)

About the Book

In this follow-up to her acclaimed first novel "By the Shore," Craze explores the power and limitations of human desperation, hope, and resolve, in an affecting new story that once again brings readers into the beloved world of May, Eden, and their mother, Lucy.

Book Synopsis

Lucy has always had a volatile marriage, one marked with frequent splits and reconciliations. So when she takes her two young children, May and Eden, and walks out on her husband, no one expects it will be for good. Until she flees England for America.

In the serene, sunbathed California landscape, Lucy, May, and Eden begin to believe that this new country might offer them a chance to reconnect. But when they settle in the Parvati Ashram, what first seemed idyllic threatens to sever their already tenuous family ties.

Like most outsiders, May views the ashram as a cult, but her mother sees it as a place of healing and salvation. As Lucy is taken deeper into the confidence of their leader, May's initial defenses are broken down by her friendship with the manipulative proselyte, Sati. Thoughts of England slowly begin to disappear as they settle into their new reality, where blind faith challenges human decency, testing the family's loyalties and asking if a less-than-perfect but real life is better than a vacuous ideal.

With Tiger, Tiger, Craze explores the power and limitations of human desperation, hope, and resolve as she proves that true completeness does not come from the outside, but from within
