Dark Streets and the Forgotten Tastes of Chocolate and Joy Jennifer Rachel Baumer

Reality. Fantasy. And the dividing line between the two. A modern-day Persephone confronts the limits of endurance of those around her. She's been courting Death. Let Death court her. An urban Pagan confronts corporate greed with the help of some powerful allies. No one listened to animals, no one cared about the sound of the wind or the smells of a summer night. Sent to the past to save the future, a 21st century agent meets ? and improves the life of ? a 1950s housewife. Poor anesthetized Martha with her dreams of drugs and reality of soap operas ? she wouldn't remember a thing. And that seemed sad. When a couple breaks up, custody is often in question ? but usually it involves children. Susan slammed the door behind Daniel hard enough to cut off his sentence; his words bled on the floor. A marionette prowls dark streets, bringing joy to good little girls and boys. Maybe. Do you want a cookie, little girl? A young girl, searching for her mother, learns the line between life and death is thin as a strand of fishing line. She tied the feathers together with fishing line from her father's tackle box.
