Virginia is ready to rock the world, but will love, lust and dangerous desire kill the boldness she's fought hard to embrace? Environmental engineer Virginia “V”. Will, the youngest in a protective family, has played it safe for years. The death of her adventurous mother is a wake-up call. At age 39, V. leaves her job and joins the D.C. band Love Bunny as a drummer, but she wants more than just a drum throne and a voyeur's view of the wild parties of her twenty-something bandmates.

An adage is a short saying that transmits knowledge, and some have been around for generations. You might remember a parent or grandparent saying "a bird in the hard is worth two in the bush", "a leopard can't change its spots", or "better safe than sorry". There are hundreds of these sayings and they all translate into excellent advice and food for thought. I have come up with dozens of new adages over the years. Some are quotes from famous people, some I heard somewhere and they stuck with me, and other I just made up.

With racial tension dividing a small Mississippi town, what happens when one by one, white residents awaken to find themselves with skin pigmentation as dark as those they despise? In the small town of St. Molasses, Mississippi, the town was so small, there was only one library, one school, one pharmacy, and only one major grocery store. If one wished to visit a museum, shopping mall, night club or movie theater, they’d have to travel a couple miles over to the city of Marmalade to do so. Like most small rural towns, everybody knew everybody.

He stabbed what and who that man represented: someone bigger and badder; someone who didn't play fair; someone who had sexually violated his body and stolen his innocence; still others who had repeatedly robbed him; or who had twice left him for dead from stab wounds; and all those who countless times mocked and humiliated him in public. He finally stabbed those men back.
