The Sharp Teeth of Love - Hardcover

After dumping her boyfriend in Reno on her way to California, Luna Stone hides out in the mountains near Donner Lake, where her solitude is invaded by the ghost of Tamsen Donner, a runaway boy fleeing a child-porn ring, and a young Lutheran minister

Sierras, a man, a woman, and a boy, each in psychological or physical danger, come together in a dramatic, satisfying way. At the center is Luna Stone, a young woman on the way to California who dumps her self-absorbed boyfriend in Reno and hides out in the mountains near Donner Lake. While camping, she has two visitors, the ghost of Tamsen Donner and a very live runaway boy, escaped from a child porn ring. This is Doris Betts at the top of her form.
