“The Smoker”- Tessa finds comfort in smoking cigarettes.  She meets a young man named Sinica that she pushes away.  She pushes him too far.  The more he tries to love her, the more she forces herself to be detached.  In the end she wishes she hadn’t been so aloof to his love.

 

“To Love in 1840” – The fates of Star and Thomas became sealed the night they were born together on the same plantation.  Man used slavery to keep them apart, yet divine intervention brought them back together on a North Carolina plantation next to the Atlantic Ocean.  They rediscover each other and fall deeply in love.
