    WHY GO ON A TUEDAY?"It is dangerous traveling back," says the poet Pablo Neruda, "because suddenly the past becomes a prison."But what if return to a place of discovery and contentment many years ago could serve to pull you back up into life? Prominent anthropologist Maryanne Fort sets out to revisit the Mexican village where she and her husband first began fieldwork 40 years ago. In the crystal air of highland Chiapas she rediscovers old friends, Mayan-speakers and gringos alike, who are warmer to her than are her own skeptical offspring at home.Especially important is reconnecting with longtime pal photographer Janice Metz, who fled the U.S. in the Red Scare of the 1950s. Acerbic and wise, Janice is also working her way forward in the new territory of widowhood, having lost her "sweetie" of 40 years, the artist Lois Shapiro. Other encounters with people from long ago prove more troubling, especially when their moth-eaten gossip threatens Maryanne's idealized picture of her late husband.

But despite her photographic memory and super-powered intellect, there's one question Penny doesn't know the answer to: where did her father go when he left her and her mother years ago? On Penny's 21st birthday, she receives a card in the mail from her father, just as she has every year since he left. But this birthday card is different. For the first time ever, there's a return address. Penny may not know much about the world beyond her mother's house and The Institute, the special school she has attended since her abilities became clear, but now seems like the perfect time to break free of her safe existence and start to really live. What she doesn't realize is that the real world is more complicated and dangerous than she ever imagined it could be"--
