It's the Iceman that's kept him alive. He knows that. So he's trying to retire the very part of himself to which he owes his survival, and that's not an easy thing to do.
Hannah Gavener is a young woman who pursues romantic fulfillment with a hopeful heart, in the Curtis Sittenfeld novel "The Man of My Dreams." The story follows Hannah from her teen years to her late twenties, a period of time in which her skepticism sometimes threatens to overcome her hope. Hannah may remind some readers of the main character in Sittenfeld's first novel "Prep."
