A man and the woman he loves seek firm footing in a post-9/11 America where sense of place is fractured and uncertain... where the boundaries of reality become as frail as the psyche of a battered nation. It's not just that things are out of balance. Things happen that cannot happen. Hugh Ogden is a systems theorist working in the field of of Artificial Life; Abby Sipes, a high-powered corporate consultant with star status, is struggling desperately to overcome a deep personal tragedy. But her center cannot hold; all too often and without warning, she literally vanishes into thin air. PLACE is a haunting, suspenseful story of science and blindness, the destruction and resurrection of family, and the search for solid foundation in a shifting landscape. Ned White's intriguing novel of love and grief and family skillfully blends physics with metaphysics to add new meaning to the term 'sense of place.' - Don O'Briant, former book editor, Atlanta Journal Constitution
