A short novel of Love and Trust intertwined with poetry for the grown and sexy, to the real-life street hustlers. A story that tells of a man and a woman who finally finds love until one of them finds out that the other has more secrets than the Government. The question then becomes...Do you pray and ask God for clarity? Do you go to the streets that raised you to get the answers? Do you look through weary eyes filled with distrust, or do you follow your heart because love conquers all?

December, 31st, 1930. As they have for over a decade, four friends will meet in the West Smoking Room at the famous-and very exclusive-14¿N Club in downtown Boston.

But the dark truth is, the horrific events which they witnessed at Salem Normal School's Claremont Hall in 1916, compel them to meet. Little do they know, this year will be unlike any previous gathering. Even now, outside forces conspire to bring them together for an adventure which could herald the end of the world as they know it.

What did the pagan gods mean to a Christian poet of the fifth century? What did Paul quote when he thought he was quoting Greek poetry?
