Love May Fail by Matthew Quick
Portia Kane is escaping her ritzy Florida life and her cheating pornographer husband, running back to South Jersey, a place that remains largely unchanged from the years of her unhappy youth.
Looking to find the goodness in the world she believes still exists; Portia sets off to save herself by saving someone else– a beloved high school English teacher who has retired after a traumatic incident. With the ‘help’ of a sassy nun, an ex-heroin addict, a metal-head little boy, and her hoarder mother, will Portia be able to restore a good man’s reputation– and find renewed hope in the human race?
