Marli Guzzetta powerless - Jordan has arrived on a remote island in the Bahamas to lose herself and her past. When she meets Nina, a fellow drifter, the two women realize they are powerless to fight the attraction between them. As Jordan discovers that Nina has a past of her own, they are both forced to confront their sins. Jordan and Nina have to find the strength to deal with the consequences of their pasts or to stay within the confines of their solitary paradise. With excerpts from John Milton's Paradise Lost, Marli Guzzetta's powerless proves that paradise lost is a necessary step to paradise found. |
