Tropical Depression by Arin Greenwood Los Angeles indie publisher Back Porch Books presents "Tropical Depression", a novel by Arin Greenwood.

Nina Barker is a neurotic young New York lawyer whose life is coming apart. After suffering a lost job and a bad breakup, she flees the increasingly painful world she knows in favor of what she imagines - quite wrongly, it turns out - will be a simpler life on the remote island of Miramar. Populated with corrupt politicians, quirky and frequently intoxicated expats, ghosts, st*****rs, and a guy wh
