I'll See You Sometime

Maxi Luba, owner of a small travel agency, has booked her clientele all over world. She’s as comfortable with the eccentricities of others as she is describing the view of the Ile la Cite on the Seine River in Paris, walking down the Champ Elysees, or climbing the Mayan ruins in Chichen Itza. Besides being a pliable factotum, she’s a little bit physic and more than a little perplexed at the strange and untimely disappearance of a young teenage girl from her neighborhood. Maxi adversely begins experiencing deep and foreboding dreams that consume and drag her despairing into the horrow involving this waiflike child of the punk culture ... purple haired Jennifer.

To compound Maxi’s uneasy feelings and premonitions is the revelation of the questionable entanglement between Jennifer and Cole Kennerson, the 27 year old son of Maxi’s boyfriend, Rick.

As the story enfolds, we are pierced by the indellible wounds that are sometimes left smoldering in the children of bitter divorce, the lies and delusions that shred and fragment the intimate relationship between a man and woman, and the deeping, forever, bond and interaction between a free-spirited mother and her ingenuous, sometimes gnomic daughter. The story challenges us with an ambling question. Do we really know the people we love, or merely conjure up a comfortable facsimilie with our own uncertain and fragile vulnerability.
