Summary
A story in 3 parts follows Catherine and Vincent as they separate, become involved with others, and finally end up together - with Catherine raising Vincent's child from a brief affair. Joe and Devin make appearances, as does a fascinating original character, Adam. Explicit sex.[3]
Reactions and Reviews
Star-crossed lovers (V/C) in a convoluted plotline that eventually has C raising V's baby by another woman as all's well that ends Wells. V disguising himself in a false beard to travel, unnoticed (???!!), by boxcar, is really a stitch if you think about it. Not for everyone; but at times it's very entertaining. The story perks right along. Lots of graphic sex by all participants.[4]
