Innocent and voluptuous Peggy Raven was consumed with the passion for dance. Only too soon did she realize the real way people succeed in show business-but her relocation to New York City would teach her the tricks of the trade-whether she wanted to or not! Her first was Dave Farnum, the theatre director who groomed her for the big time with advice and adoration. Then there was Ernie Kastle, talent peddler extrodinaire from whom she learned that a lot of loving, and a little talent, could take her a long way! Stan Newkirk was next, and became her graceful partner on stage and in the bedroom! Finally came Bob Hamilton, the debonair dilettante who was the financial angel in the light of lost innocence!Jean's voluptuous body had the the movements that sorched men's emotions. Haughty, disdainful, she warded off every advance with icy detachment . . . her sights set on goals encased in the glamor of Hollywood. Even her affair with show manager Nick Diles was strictly business as far as she was concerned. And then Mace joined the show-a daredevil motorcyclist with broken nerves and shattered manhood. Yet he continued to stir women to passions long dormant. Under Mace's spell, Jean turned her act and body into a dancing fire of lustful promise-renewing Nick's needs and driving him to a jealous frenzy. In vengeful retaliation, Nick attempted to force Jean into after-the-show "customer relations" and started a blazing chain reaction no one could stop!

"As the psalms are a microcosm of the Old Testament, so the Expositions of the Psalms can be seen as a microcosm of Augustinian thought. In the Book of Psalms are to be found the history of the people of Israel, the theology and spirituality of the Old Covenant, and a treasury of human experience expressed in prayer and poetry. So too does the work of expounding the psalms recapitulate and focus the experiences of Augustine's personal life, his theological reflections and his pastoral concerns as Bishop of Hippo."--Publisher's website.
