Home Sweet Home

<p>As a little girl Yves Zoe Trieste's first experiences were magical opulent and dazzling - living in one of Japan's protected and exclusive enclaves reserved for Foreign Diplomats and their families. The change was sudden when the family boarded one of the last evacuation flights before the nuclear end of World War II. Returning to the United States she becomes sucked into a quagmire of an unhappy marriage to an absent husband divorce and custody of two boys and a girl devastating dark family secrets multigenerational sexual assault and incest sex drugs rock and roll escapism vapid partying survival of eviscerating collisions financial insecurity unrelenting trauma familiar plotting shunning greed betrayal and disinheritance.<p>Many dreams can be nightmares too so terrible are dark and forbidden secrets. Nightmares. Creepy. Frighting. Just like those crows that sit in those craggy trees around our house waiting just waiting claws gripped ready to swoop down and scratch our eyes out. We all know don't we that life is not a smooth ride with its' twists and turns and strangles. We could get up and walk out when the curtain falls if it were a theater play. But not life. We have to stay until the end. There is no way out. And then what? And then what? - Yves Zoe Trieste</p>
