Damien Arden is a failed artist who sells his work in the city's promenade market. From his stand, he can see the beach where a young dancer comes every afternoon to practice- for months now. The two have only communicated through their work, and hardly through speech. But one night after Damien meets with a fatal accident, there is only one painting that will save him, that only the dancer can recognise after months of observation. A coming of age story about loss, friendship and the true beauty of two artists communicating in their own languages of passion which turns into a relationship with profundity. PG-13 (WOAH. #107 in Adventure and #292 in General Fiction in three days. HOW?) © T R A N Q U I L I TY ®

Hooker boots, fishnet stockings, fried hair, and crayola makeup. Throw in sex and a high possibility of STD's and you've got the image of a whore. There's always that one story about the social outcast rumored to sleep around and fuck everyone in sight, when in reality she hasn't even had her first kiss yet. Adriana isn't that girl. She's seen and done things most are ashamed to admit to, she's met people most seventeen year old girls steer clear of, and she's trapped. She's been trapped in a vicious cycle of dirty old men, drugs, beatings, and alcohol since she'd stepped into it at the age of thirteen. Adriana Williams, the name of a rebellious, detached, scarred girl who lives her life without really living it. Doesn't sound like much of a nanny, does she? Well, don't judge a book by its cover.
