A funny, witty, and wise book filled with quirky characters thrown together in an absurd situation. How does a would-be bank robber, who escapes into a real estate open house and takes the group hostage, simply disappear with the police and media watching? You will chuckle along with the tale of complete strangers who are thrown together in extremely unexpected and unusual circumstances. As each life story unfolds, we learn the power of hope, forgiveness, friendship, and, maybe most importantly, understanding one another.
