Something Unpredictable: A Novel

Barbara Chepaitis

Delilah is thirty-one years old and doesn’t know what to do with her life. Her degree in geology - with an emphasis on atmospheric science and garbology - hasn’t quite paved the career path she’d always dreamed of. Though she currently has a boyfriend (who photographs her in tubs of Jell-O), post-college relationships have, overall, proven equally disappointing. Now back at home living with her wealthy, eccentric parents in Key West and working as a waitress, Delilah would love to save the world - if only it weren’t such an overwhelming task. But Delilah’s life begins to change when her mother discovers her own birth mother, Carla. Delilah quickly forms a relationship with Carla, who turns out to have once been a professional tiger tamer, among other things. Their friendship opens doors for Delilah, gives her a new perspective on the world around her and fresh ideas of what she can do to make it a better place for herself and for those she loves. This touching novel from a wonderful stylist is a heartfelt, romantic tale that celebrates humanity in all its eccentric glory.
