Portrait of Mara introduces an extraordinary sequence of events that begin in Nairobi, East Africa, moves to the island of Mauritius and, eventually the USA. Mara, an exotic woman of color, marries international businessman, John Barton. John is unaware that his wife has a latent sexual disorder. The psychosis erupts when his friend, artist Robert Cutre, arranges Mara's nude figure in a classical pose. The lustful incident tests the sanctity of an already complex mixed marriage, including a family's disappointment with her marital choice, and a psychotic infidelity. To be sure, two interesting twists, but not the story's dramatic high points. Mara finds out she's been living a lie, and breaking down in front of her sisters. Dr. Alston, confesses, I'm not your real father, your biological parents were Eurasian. You are not an African-American. Fiction Fiction eBook, Double Dragon Publishing<
