Fools & Naked People Bonnie Jae Dane

Lily Poe lives an idyllic life spent in the company of her dog Mavis, mostly among the flowers in her backyard. She enjoys the periodic visits of her cross-dressing neighbor, British professor Artemis Love, although thinks he talks incessantly about his lackluster students and the questionable morals of Dickens. Soon Lily's romantic notion life can remain perfect lived in the beauty of her backyard is brought into question when Calvin, a handsome man, moves in next door and stirs her long dormant desires. While being addled by thoughts of replacing her cotton undergarments with silky lingerie, her life then includes periodic visits from Calvin's schizophrenic, angelic forty-year-old son Michael, and the unexpected arrival of her auto mechanic lesbian daughter, who is mourning the loss of her wife and their Arizona lifestyle. She accepts it all as grist for her weekly column in the Evening Daily she calls Fools & Naked People. However, a formidable glitch occurs when Lily needs to make it all appear normal, which unknowingly requires the help of Michael's divine source of love and the gifts that allow him to tinker with the magic of the celestial light.
