Out of the Storm: A Novella - Paperback

by M. Saverio Clemente (Author)

When an unexpected snow storm forces Thomas Fontane--a chain-smoking, scotch-drinking, stubborn old man--to open his cramped San Fernando Valley apartment to porn star Kitty St. Clare, he is surprised to find himself empathizing with her experiences of suffering, loss, guilt, and grief. Out of the Storm revolves around the lives of two people who seem to have little in common. But though they come from very different worlds--Fontane is a widower, sensitive, and well-read, St. Clare is a popular adult film star whose main goal in life is to numb the pain of her tragic childhood--each finds in the other a shared humanity.
