The Darrows are thought to be mysterious immortals, illegal arms dealers, and everything in between. It is not until Blair ends up with a borrowed invitation to a strange and sudden ball where she can finally have the answer to who (or what) the Darrows are. But, she stumbles into an even more intriguing mystery when she meets Evander Darrow, heir of Axwell Manor and his spellbinding gaze she cannot resist. Is it true what they say about the Darrows, that once you cross their threshold, you are now theirs? Blair must find the truth and unlock the secret of Axwell Manor, through unexplainable occurrences, strange and fiery emotions, and the real reason the Darrows lock themselves away from the outside world.

Mixed are the emotions, Scattered are the notions, Jumbled are the thoughts, Of feelings suppressed, feelings I forgot. Stood by and watched the scene unfold, "The way of reality," Society had told. To change my clothes and cut my hair, Was how they said to avoid their stares. I played the part, Disobeyed my heart. Living happily an insidious lie, Leaving what's left of my humanity to die. Little by little the dam piled up, Guilt and shame overflowed my cup. Goodness escaped, for she had lost her meaning, Angered at the world, I was silently screaming. So I broke apart, Anew I'd start. Now here we are at the end of my strife, Where I'll take you on a journey......a journey through my life. || Winner of the Flowery Flower Awards ||

Placed #410 in Chicklit This story is a fictional, but historically accurate story told through the eyes of a woman who finds feminism. I researched all of the geography, created elaborate backstories for each of the characters, looked at time period specific cars, homes, prices, jobs, wages, median marriage age, popular first and last names of men and women, women in in the workforce, average household income, monthly expenditures, average family size. And that was just to write the first few pages. All of the businesses - the paper and the bank - are real and were open at the time of my story. I had to research massive woman's feminism timelines and go to the library to look at slang. I watched I Love Lucy and other time period specific stories to get a feel for how she was going to speak. I looked at hundreds of advertising campaigns, clothing, and sex appeals in advertising to use with Sharon's obsession with fashion and indoctrination by these ads in her favorite magazines. Pretty fun to write and learn about this time period in history. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did writing it.
