The truth is harder to hide when someone sharp starts poking around.

Grant Eastbrook hit the ground crawling after his wife kicked him out. Six months later, in Seattle without a job or a place to live, he escapes to the woods of nearby Vashon Island to consider his options. When he’s found sleeping outdoors by a cheerful man who seems bent on irritating him to death, Grant’s plans to resuscitate his life take a peculiar turn.

Oliver Rossi knows how to keep his fears at bay. He’s had years of practice. As a local eccentric and artist, he works from his funky home in the deep woods, where he thinks he has everything he needs. Then he rescues an angry man from a rainy ditch and discovers a present worth fighting the past for.

Amid the buzz of high summer, unwelcome attraction blooms on a playing field of barbs, defenses, and secrets.

Praise for The Infinite Onion:

I loved this book! - Christa Désir, Award-Winning Author

There are writers whose prose is so vivid and so emotionally resonant, that you might briefly forget you’re reading a work of fiction, and while Alice Archer has already proven that her hand is as elegant as it is masterful, her newest novel continues to show real insight into the human soul. - Natasha is a Book Junkie

The Infinite Onion was a powerful and relevant story which touched our hearts immensely.

I loved this book! This is a brilliant story. So fulfilling. I laughed and cried. I kept sneaking away to read another chapter. I loved the atmosphere and artistry of the characters and the setting. This is exactly the sort of romance novel I look for. The Infinite Onion is the real deal--deep and deeply satisfying. - Kelly Jensen, Award-Winning Author

Teaser

GRANT

I turned toward home, such as it wasn’t, plodding along in the drizzle. To conserve money, I skipped the bus and walked all the way to the Easy Night Motel, the shabbiest in a series of way-below-average motels I’d called home since I’d moved back to Washington State.

Laura remained in California with her successful life-coaching business and high expectations. I could have retreated to Eastern Washington, where my parents and siblings lived, but those expectations would have been even harder to manage than Laura’s.

I walked faster to escape that train of thought, which hurt my chest and made my sore temple throb. What would I do without the comforting void of The Zone? By the time I inserted the key in the doorknob at the motel in the awful end of downtown, I couldn’t breathe.

Barricaded behind the closed door, I toppled on the bed in the room’s inky darkness. The anvil of rejection pressed me into the mattress. Fear tried to elbow in, but I looked the other way. I could wonder where I’d be in a week, but I wouldn’t relive rejections from long ago.

The anxiety attack woke me from a dream of dark shapes and heavy silence into a world not much different. I turned on the TV and got up to take off my boots. I drank cup after cup of water from the bathroom tap, but I couldn’t get my lungs to inflate. I pulled the expired health insurance card from my wallet and stared down at it as I sat on the edge of the bed and wheezed.

When Laura had dropped me at the Greyhound station in Santa Barbara, she’d said, “I deserve someone better than you.” I was tempted to call her a bitch for that, but I really couldn’t, since I agreed with her.
