Some educations begin in the body...
She had it all - riches, a college honors program scholarship, a girlfriend - until her conservative, hyper-religious parents discovered the sapphistry and forced her to choose between conversion therapy and disownment. That choice marked the end of her academic career and everything she thought she knew.
Now, three years later, she is starting her life over and meets a shy public librarian in a bookstore. He has been waiting his whole life for her.
What unfolds between the two lovers feels almost like magic. Given that he is about to become her tutor in the magickal and erotic arts, perhaps that should come as no surprise.
But at what cost?
Ancilla is a study of hunger. It is a dark, philosophical tale exploring forbidden passion, power, devotion, trauma, sacrifice, and the complicated path toward becoming oneself. The conservative early 1990's in northeast Ohio's Rust Belt sets the stage for a slow-burning, forbidden love.
Surrender...
