“Imagine listening to your friends’ most interesting stories about themselves, stories encompassing rich and intertwined lives; then imagine these stories transformed by a magical storyteller.”   --Los Angeles Herald Examiner
 
Rich Rewards is the story of a displaced woman who somehow finds exactly what she has been searching for, long after she thought it was past finding, and in a place she never expected
 
Fleeing a bad love affair in Boston, Daphne Matthiessen, elegant, intelligent, always open to risk, finds herself seeking shelter in the San Francisco home of an old school friend. As she becomes entwined in Agatha’s affairs  and family and friends, she senses something that is compelling her, compelling her into her own past and toward the resolution of a lost love, the unfolding of fate.
