Ether
A novella exploring the complex, multifaceted nature of human love
through three interconnecting stories of love, loss and betrayal.
Young
Phoenix lives with her mother in a small rural town, enduring a
childhood filled with financial insecurity and emotional instability
brought on by her mother’s immature outlook and turbulent love life.
Forced to frequently fend for herself Phoenix is relieved when, after a
particularly disastrous romance with Danny, a young itinerant musician,
her mother takes up with the older and sensible Shawn who brings order
and financial stability into their lives, leaving Phoenix to concentrate
on her developing relationship with her best friend Billy. However, the
idyll doesn’t last long and things spiral out of control when Danny
comes back to town, setting in motion a chain of events which will
forever change their lives.
