      Saving Tuna Street
    • Blanche "Bang" Murningham was perfectly content sitting on the dock of the Peel 'N Eat Pier on Santa Maria Island, sipping an excellent draft and wiggling her fishing pole after an exclusive sheepshead. Perfectly content, that is until Jean McMahon appears at her side and forever disrupts Blanche's peaceful idyll with ghosts of the past. Blanche's amateur sleuthing skills have become local legend, and Jean needs her help. It's no a simple favor Jean asks--will Blanche go to Vietnam with her and look for Jean's mother? Blanche feels an old wound rip open in her heart. Her father was killed in Vietnam, and she's never gotten much history from her beloved grandmother and mother on the subject. She realizes she and Jean share a powerful bond--they both want the truth. --from page [4] of cover
