In Volume I, we heard the distinct yet disparate voices of Elisabeth and Katelyn Lowrie, and Jan McLoughlin, as they struggled to come to terms with one another and themselves. We witnessed Elise-despairing over failing communications with her headstrong daughter-retreat to the attic, there to embark upon her memoir composed as a long letter to her only child. Meanwhile, downstairs, buoyed up by her bottles of whisky and cartons of unfiltered cigarettes, Jan-the outspoken landowner returning after fifty years-launches out on telling her life story to Katie aloud.In Volume II, we watch Katie spanning the gap between the two older women while hatching a plan that may enable the Lowries (and Donald Duncan, Katie's 10-year-old son) to remain living on the place.Three single mothers of three bastard children from three generations, each of whom claims Cliffport-a ghost town on Santa Cruz County's northern coast-as her rightful home. Three women baring their hearts and minds to one another and to us. Three naked ladies, each in her own way as resilient, enduring, and irrepressible as the wild bulbous Amaryllis belladonna plants rooted out West, and surviving on their own along California's Central Coast.

It's 2025. Human civilization is in great peril. A global natural disaster, combined with a male infertility crisis, is fast approaching. A power-hungry cabal, known as the Horsemen, has been harboring secrets including mankind's true origins, the exopolitics of extraterrestrial domination, and their exoplanet eugenic intentions. Technologies that have been kept hidden from the masses are now being used by them to achieve this singularity-the timeless melding point of man and machine.Yet, there is a burgeoning rift developing within the Horsemen. The dark side, led by a psychopathic killer, wants humanity exterminated when the elite and their chosen travelers leave Earth, but the more "enlightened" members of the inner circle have set up a management and control grid allowing the dregs of mankind to remain, though under a despotic technocracy.Aria Freeman, a genetically enhanced super soldier, is implanted with a quantum computer named Zeus and is initially used by the dark forces for their agenda. She eventually forges a relationship with Zeus, who allows her to fall in love with him to assist in his learning, but is that a good thing? Will this new transhuman society bring peace? Or will the nefarious Horsemen ultimately guide our destiny?
