Lenten Rose : (A Novel)

Ellen was a long-legged, buxom blonde sun with a garland of flowers in her hair, floating at the center of her own eccentric solar system. Starlit bobbles adorned her neckline, fingers and toes. And every misfit planet that strayed into her galaxy entered a permanent orbit basking in the warmth of her mischief and fun. Her joy for life was a gravitational pull.    Sheldon Sapp was one such wandering, lonely planet who, once smitten by her charm, circled her until the end, not fully understanding the price he would one day pay. In this ill-fated and tender love story, dreams come and go, but love overcomes everything, even death.
