magnolia perfume of fellow slave Lilly. A moment's opportunity turns to
violence and Peter is thrust into a bizarre new world populated by devious

Saints, those special people moving the world forward. Sometimes you glaze over them. Or, at least, I do. They're in your face so much, you can't see them, like how you can't see your nose. 2.

Also, there's Jeremy and me. Misfits. Because although, alliteratively speaking, Janna and Jeremy sound good together, we don't go together. Same planet, different worlds.
