This year, they've chosen to live in Aix-en-Provence, France, an enchanting city full of fountains, creamy yellow light, and a fascinating group of scarlet-clad street performers.\u003cbr\u003eZeeta soon begins to receive mysterious notes and gifts from someone she calls her fant me, \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eor ghost, admirer.

Zeeta brushes off her curiosity about her fant me, \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eand her simmering attraction to one of the street performers, Jean-Claude, until Wendell arrives and she begins to fear that her feelings for him have truly changed. Perhaps--like Layla--she's simply not made for long-term romance.\u003cbr\u003eAs Zeeta tries to draw away from Wendell, however, circumstances seem to force them together. Zeeta's friendship with a local antiques dealer and his reclusive artist friend leads to a dangerous adventure. When Zeeta and Wendell join forces to find a secret underground spring whose water is rumored to bring immortality, they are forced to reconsider their own desires, and their beliefs about true love. Yet as soon as Zeeta decides that her mind has cleared, she's confronted with the biggest shock of her life: the incredible true identity of her fant me.\u003cbr\u003eVibrant, warmhearted, and evocative, The Ruby Notebook\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eis a remarkable novel about learning to accept love in all of its wondrous and imperfect forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLaura Resau lived in the Mixtec region of Oaxaca, Mexico, for two years as an English teacher and anthropologist.
