ABOUT
THE BOOK

Bump is the story of a trio of motorists and one policeman linked together by a tangled, life-altering web of coincidence in the immediate aftermath of a three-car pile-up in Los Angeles. Dorothy is to be married in less than twenty-four hours but can’t shake the memory of her ex-boyfriend. Madelyn is a married mother of two who falls in love with a man she met through a suicide hotline. Leo is a golden-eyed Latino who speaks no Spanish and has come to L.A. to reclaim his girlfriend. Ray is a Beverly Hills cop whose wife has just left him.
