Burnt Sage is a rhapsody of money and passion-filled romance, of betrayal and double-dealing, of adventure and intrigue and restless disembodied souls lurking in a murky limbo between life and death. Enter Dawn Sage-one of the principal characters-a been-there-done-that survivor of domestic violence whose life, cluttered with the drama of a temper-tossed relationship colored by frustration and heartache, flees Chicago, having withstood her ex-boyfriend's buzz-saw of angst and many of his bridge-burning eruptions.

She is a woman that has been wounded by love before and choked by the debris of physical and emotional abuse. Like they say, "A Burnt Child Dreads Fire." Is her "Mr. Look So Good", the fire she is playing around with, again?
