The despair that clouded Sharon's perceptions gradually lifted, and she even came to view her shaven-headed companions as her friends, although she was frustrated by not being able to communicate with them: her sexual tastes precluding her even from doing so in the sexual way that Sweetness did with them every night.

Journal entry, August 23, 2002 It took me a while to find your house. Your address was in a stylishly upscale subdivision that I had never visited.

This time of year the sweltering, humid nights come early to this Florida beachside community; Lia often comes by on these steamy nights. My house is a white Craftsman cottage bounded on two sides in sand grass and brushed by swaying palmettos and bald cypress trees. This is my la douce France'.
