Includes reader guide. Rita Rosario cuts hair, tells fortunes, and reads the classics. One night she has a dream, which she interprets as a summons, and before long she has flung herself into the life of John Reed, a lonely stranger who needs her help." "As they fall in love, John tells Rita his "only story," the story each of us tells that defines us the most. She realizes that she must help him reconnect with his eight-year-old niece, Aileen, orphaned in a terrible tragedy and kept from him since. Rita discovers a secret that opens the door to contact with the girl, but the entanglements of family and desire bring unexpected results. My Only Story explores the inescapable pull of family, the surprises of love, and the notion that happiness often resides in the places where we are least likely to look.
