Publisher's Synopsis
Life is good for Arthur. He has made it to his senior year in college and his art has advanced significantly. His two girlfriends, Annette and Morgan, help keep him balanced, but with real friends in school, Art has begun to come out of his shell. His best friend, Kendra, has advanced her own sculpture and bronze casting to a level that has the 3D department lauding her accomplishments. Submissive model and poet Susan continually surprises them both with her blatant sexual displays. And the enigmatic Mavis... Arthur has always had a visceral response to the presence of Mavis. He becomes instantly and sometimes painfully aroused. She has joined the fledgling studio group as both photographer and model-a situation that involves Arthur even more deeply with the beautiful blonde with electric blue eyes. Yes, life is good. Until the Director of Studio Arts pronounces his criticism of Art's work. In four words, Arthur's world comes crashing down. "I'm a little disappointed." Plunged into a dark vision of the world, retreating into a corner of his own mind, he seems beyond the reach of friends and lovers. In struggling to the surface again, he must learn and come to grips with his own version of seeing auras.
