however has a secret. Will she muster the courage to tell the man she is
growing to love when he seems to hate her and love another? Ellis-
By the Begonia (Madeline). Escape;
that is what Ellis lives for. Outside in the darkness, cool air and away from
the crowds of people that come, unfortunately, attached to a good party. He
nurses his dark thoughts with a bottle of wine and by his favourite flower.
Begonia- it literally means dark thoughts or beware, despite its beauty. It
suited him and his angelic looks. But he is not the only one seeking escape.
Madeline hates the crowds preferring to keep to herself and her close friends.
The agony aunt in her sees the pain and darkness in Ellis when she meets him by
the begonia and wants to help him. Ellis hates do-gooders and usually they stay
clear of him. He is scary apparently and he doesn’t care. But this fragile
looking woman is stronger then she looks and will not stop until she has helped
him. Will he let her? And will she accept his help too, to face problems she
has been denying even exist? Tree Series (four sisters) Penelope-

him. Then he dies and her heart breaks. Nothing can console her. Not her loving
sisters, nor her brother and his caring wife, her best friend and their
exuberantly happy little children. Art is the only thing she still finds joy in
and she seeks refuge in it when ever she can get a moment alone. Down by the
river she sits beneath the willows weeping her own tears and painting the flowing
water. Dylan watches her from afar as he rides by each day growing more
enchanted with this weeping beauty and what ever her tragic story is each time.
But will he find the courage to speak to her? And can he help her mend her
broken heart or see that her heart wasn’t really broken at all? Alexia-

encouraged her when they were younger. Now he is serious and married and she is
left to adventure on her own. Climbing up the old oak to see the view of her life
long home that she loves, Alex startles a passing friend of Jonnie’s who thinks
she is stuck and tries to rescue her. He scolds her when they get down for
climbing it in the first place, but she just laughs. This begins a fiery

burned to a cinder? Bianca-
