Their peckish wives could spend the money they saved spending an afternoon getting the silk wraps and pedicures that would goad them into putting out anyways. They could kiss their wives hello and then slip into very hot showers to jerk off for free. She often wondered why they didn’t just keep the $80 it cost to be with her and drive their comfortable, bucket-seated SUVs home to the suburbs. Who called her half-breed, the ones who would just as soon slap her than bother to put on the condom she always handed them. These were the ones who called her squaw.

I love, love, LOVED the relationships between Lena and her family, as well as the relationships between her and her friends.

There are many aspects to love about this book. Though it did take me a while to get to the action in the story - over 100 pages into the book - the story was well-written and had enough to keep me intrigued to get to the action.

The Doll's House: Morpheus discovers four major dreams are missing from The Dreaming and dispatches Matthew the Raven to investigate.
