Earthly Needs

By Marty Damon

Lila Wallace's day at work begins with screaming, clawing, and kicking. It's nothing out of the ordinary; after all, she's a high school English teacher. If only everything could be as easily resolved as the fight outside of her classroom door. What she needs is some clarity in her life, both professionally and romantically. At 43, Lila Wallace thought she had left small town living behind, but after the death of her parents, here she is, living in the house where she grew up. She has a history of unsuccessful romances but right down the road is handsome long-time neighbor Sam Fielding. She also can't seem to avoid the mysterious but tempting newcomer, Niko Athanasopoulos. She worries about Sam; he's been a bit confused lately - could his strict vegan diet be the reason? Will his new neighbor Niko, who seems too interested in Sam's land, take advantage of him? At school, life is no simpler. A pathologically ambitious assistant principal uses a bullied student as a scapegoat, and even attempts murder to eliminate a colleague whom he sees as an obstacle to his success.
