Butterfly in Black Second book in the series Excerpts from the Life and Times of Tara Malone

"Those damned naked photos! Should I bother? Should I care?" Tara and her teenager friends are on the brink of adulthood. Life is offering a full palette of experiences for them to take in. Some experiences turn into ugly violent happenings, leading to confrontations with the police. Others are hot, sultry and erotically satisfying in nature. In Tara's chosen field of work, the performing arts, pleasure and work are woven together, as all of the six senses come into play. The astral world becomes apparent to Tara as it so easily does to many teenagers. Relationships are tried on and discarded on many levels of being. Some couples succeed in confirming their relationships and become engaged to be married. Those "damned" photographs in the opening scene, which cause Tara so much heartbreak, end up leading to a new career opportunity modeling in Milano, with the possibility of meeting film mogul, Antonioni. Gabriel Monarch, Tara's director of fashion, finally fells one of his own models and marries her. As the book ends, Tara is luckily entering a new professional relationship with Angela Goldstein, Italian agent for models in Milan. New pastures are tempting; will Max be true and follow with her?
