Two Lessons in First Impressions

The Garment tells of a young woman (Grace), recently married to Donald Rouse, a parson whom she adores. Over the first two years of their marriage, Grace's eyes are opened to the real man behind the facade, as she experiences the frustrations and feelings of rejection of an unconsummated marriage. Grace suffocates under this oppression, until she finds love, passion and more elsewhere. The Garment shows how vital it is for a woman to find love and fulfillment in her life, even when it comes at great sacrifice.Slinky Jane is the story of an innocent but very private woman who stops over in a small town, only to turn the town upside down. Her behavior raises the suspicions of the town's women, who believe she threatens their marriages. It is also about finding love when and where one least expects it, and how that love can be strong enough to face life full of uncertainies.
