Mit einem kritischen Nachwort zur Neuübersetzung von Lilian Peter Isadora Wing, jüdische Lyrikerin und Journalistin aus der Upper West Side von New York City, ist an einem Scheideweg angelangt. Nach fünf Jahren Ehe reizen sie viele Dinge: Männer reizen sie, Einsamkeit reizt sie und Sex reizt sie. Als sie trotz ihrer Flugangst mit ihrem Mann zu einer Psychoanalytiker-Konferenz nach Wien reist, stürzt sie sich dort kurzerhand in eine Affäre mit seinem Kollegen Adrian. Es beginnt eine Reise, die sie im Zickzackkurs durch Europa, zu sexuellen Abenteuern und letztlich zu sich selbst führt.

A Beautiful Woman, Missing... New York City, 2005. Thanksgiving weekend. A topless Kate Moss peers down from a billboard over rain-spattered Houston Street. Escaping a troubled past, Francesca Pena came to the city and reinvented herself. At New York University, her beauty and charisma are the envy of her privileged pals, yet none knows the real Francesca - who, after a night of drinking, is now missing.

Though nobody has ever identified a single secret - no universally accepted truth - to the sport, every real player searches for one. Travis McKinley is one such seeker. A former professional golfer who feels like he's an amateur at the rest of life, he makes a pilgrimage to the mythical greens at St. Andrews. On the course where golf was born, every link, hole, fairway - even the gorse - feels like sacred ground. Ground that can help an ordinary player, an ordinary man, achieve a higher plane.

Travis McKinley is an ordinary man living an ordinary life - he has a job that he despises, a marriage that has lost its passion, children from whom he feels disconnected, and at age 50, a sense that he has accomplished nothing of consequence with his life. But on Christmas Day, he goes out to play a round of golf, and for the first time, he finds himself in the "zone". He sees the putting line that has eluded him for years.
