Sonny Magee has spent most of her life alone, finding comfort in quiet solitude and staying within her own predictable lane. She lost her loving but troubled mother at a young age and was raised by a grandmother whose parenting style vacillated between indifferent and downright cruel, leaving her both battle scarred by and naïve to the world around her. When Sonny comes into a large sum of money - begot in a mysterious manner - she finds herself at Arizona's luxury Sanctuary Resort & Spa, where she is immediately out of her element, being new to both wealth and constant socialization. Forced proximity introduces her to a hoard of eccentric guests, and something akin to romance blossoms with one of the spa employees, and yet, Sonny still feels most at peace when people watching from the margins, scribbling her observations into a notebook. But when a freak accident threatens to upend the Sanctuary's carefully curated peace, a shocking twist causes the lines of fantasy and reality to blur.."-- |c Provided by publisher. | ||
