Helma
is organizing a local authors project. She is trying to keep her
new-age boss May Apple Moon at bay. She has a new colleague.
Gloria
“Call me Glory” Shandy was Bellehaven Public Library's newest
reference librarian—petite and pert with a sleek fall of hair
almost too red to be true. Freckles dusted her nose in childish
blotches. As if to emphasize the effect, Glory dressed not exactly
childish but in clothes that a twelve-year-old girl who hadn't yet
discovered rock music might wear, including a myriad of girlish
beaded bracelets and sparkly hairbands. (p. 7).
On
top of all this Helma has turned forty-two.
