With the strokes of a maestro Dixon paints the underpinning
relation of the two sexes in the rapidly changing ages. Mary Adams is a sweet pure
virgin raised in the southern country of the United States. A school teacher in
New York not yet tempered by the doctrines of the women’s lib, she
believes implicitly in what could be termed sacrilegious by day’s opinion shapers.
Mary Adams lives in a cocoon of fairy fantasy-that somewhere
in the crowded streets of Manhattan, among the creeping automobiles and their
tonneaus lies knight in shinning armour from the age of chivalry waiting to
sweep her of her feet and carry her on golden wings to everlasting bliss. With
chaffing pride, she rejects the advances of many until she meets her
thunderbolt.
Despite the warnings from her friend Jane and Ella, She falls-head
over heels –in
love with Jim Anthony whom she believes is her soul mate and
within seven days Jim has propositioned and set his mind on matrimony. The
wedding knells soon ring, the gaping holes and lose ends relegated to the
periphery…and of the elation bubble of honeymoon takes them to their pristine
vacation. Barely three weeks since setting her eyes on Jim the hideous Mr. Hyde
in Jim rears its ugly head.
A divine call happens with the appearance of a
doctor on the
scene and one is left wondering; will the doctor save her from the whirlpool of
unfolding events that threaten to suck her under like quicksand?
This is truly a spellbinding unraveling of plot sure to keep
one gritting their teeth in as much as it tackles some pretty deep questions
like what is love and the two elements that has kept the human race surviving:
hunger and love.
