Love May Fail

Resolute feminist and underappreciated housewife Portia Kane leaves her undeserving husband in search of her high school English teacher in this quirky ode to love, faith, and hair metal - the latest oddball masterpiece from the bestselling author of THE SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK.

" It doesn' t matter how I got here. What I do with the puzzle pieces that are now in front of me— that' s what matters.
Save Mr. Vernon.
My three-word quest.
Why I' m here in this time and space. "
Portia Kane is having a meltdown. After escaping her ritzy Florida life and her cheating pornographer husband, she finds herself back in South Jersey, a place that remains largely unchanged from the years of her unhappy youth. Lost and alone, looking for the goodness she believes still exists in the world, Portia sets off on a quest to save the one man who always believed in her— and in all of his students: her beloved high school English teacher, Mr. Vernon, who has retired broken and alone after a traumatic classroom incident.
Will a sassy nun, an ex– heroin addict, a metalhead little boy, and her hoarder mother help or hurt Portia' s chances on this quest to resurrect a good man and find renewed hope in the human race? Love May Fail is a story of the great highs and lows of existence: the heartache and daring choices it takes to become the person you know (deep down) you are meant to be.
