There was once a death-mad girl from Georgia. One night, she met a Chicago se?orita who was quite punk rock, and met her often. Then a crush turned into a like, and the feeling was mutual. Eventually, their vagrant hearts linked, then they carried each other's baggage into the sunset.

But there was baggage. Rudella's came from her abandonment issues. Piri's, her homeless life. How they survived until love took over, and what arose when delight unlocked their burdens, was complex. Sad. True. If love did conquer all, the maidens fought hard for every victory.

The chaos of it all, and their happily ever after, lurks between these covers.
