The Story: Rachel Fitzsimmons loves Christmas. She loves Bing Crosby and presents and that when you look at a glass of champagne upside down it looks like it's snowing. She loves that the TV networks store up all the happy news for Christmas Eve. But this year Rachel is in for a little Christmas surprise. When you snuggle up by the fire to hang your stockings with care, and find out that your beloved husband has taken out a contract on your life, you have to know that your holiday season is going to be a little odd this year. Rachel finds herself on the run and is buffeted by the strange events and even stranger characters she meets on her loony adventure. Reckless works on many levels. On the surface it is an appealing, bright, comical journey. Underneath, you find many cleverly crafted moments and interesting observations about time, identity, change, and the marvelously ordered randomness of things. You'll laugh so hard, you'll forget you're thinking.
