Set in contemporary Santa Cruz, Wit's End opens as Rima Lanisell arrives at her godmother's old Victorian mansion, weary from her recent losses - an inventive if at times irritating father, a beloved brother. (Indeed, Rima seems to loose things habitually - sunglasses and keys, lovers and family members.) At loose ends, she has come to coastal California to regroup and to meet that legendary godmother.

Rima is on a mission to discover just what the relationship was all about.
