The Magic Circle: With Color Illustrations - Paperback

"Those who enter the magic circle are lucky to get out."

When Mary Armstrong, daughter of powerful Republican senator George Armstrong, dies in a mysterious car crash near the Los Angeles Zoo, her childhood friend is left with more than just grief-she's left with Mary's diary.

What begins as a personal reckoning soon becomes a descent into a raw, unflinching portrait of a woman shaped by betrayal, forbidden intimacy, and a relentless pursuit of meaning. Through Mary's undated, fiercely intelligent, and often unsettling entries, we enter a labyrinth of theology, sexuality, and power-where orgasm becomes divine revelation, the Bible hides darker truths, and the sacred is indistinguishable from the taboo.
