This story takes place over the course of a week in 1987. We drop into the life of Regina Jane Westing, a reporter with the LA Times. She is a work in progress. Part of her is aware

her lack of self-confidence fuels her obsession to please and she's trying to change that image of herself.

Her random encounter with two men will change life as she knows it...forever. One man is a very handsome meteorologist by the name of Mike Fredelle. The other, they meet

on a lonely stretch of highway and assume he has amnesia due to a hit and run accident, is actually an extraterrestrial. The first of many who will come to our world and warm the planet to suit them.

The alien's ability to read minds and alter the molecular structure of organic and inorganic forms, will challenge the illusory concept Regina has of herself...
