Talionic Night in Portland Theresa Griffin Kennedy

Talionic Night in Portland: A Love Story is a dark, sexually riveting and comical account of how some people come to grips with long repressed rage that can present itself later in life. Daisy Rose Butterfield has a name, a job and a life she seems to hate, and a trove of long-held secrets. Then one typical overcast Portland day a Prince Charming arrives to fix the toilet. Tab Hunter Blaine is everything Daisy has avoided all her life - he's older, he never attended college, and he works as a grade school custodian, a job he hates. He's also gorgeous and accommodating and acts as dynamite to Daisy's slow burning sexuality. But Tab brings his own baggage in the form of an estranged wife, Ruby and his girlfriend "on the side," Verona. This doesn't cause Daisy much concern, until Ruby and Verona get wind that Tab might be cheating on them. That's when the fun starts. Can sex heal you, even when it's all wrong? Can sexual obsession morph into love? Can you survive the sexual abuse you experienced as a child? And can you survive when your past, present and future collide one chilly, Talionic night in Portland?
