This ambitious second novel by D. F. Whipple is reminiscent of Upton Sinclair and Dostoevsky. Highlighting the internal battle of its characters and contrasting its heroine, Esther Owens, against her lover, Snooker Glen delves into allegory and morality. Esther's own desires stand in the way of her dreams of peace and prosperity as she struggles with developing a sense of self and sacrificing for the greater good of a small Kentucky coal mining town.

Dasha, by D. F. Whipple, tells the story of a life derailed, but even down-and-out, living on humanity's edge, a man can find magic and even love. Through the use of dreams, contemporary narrative, and fantasy, Whipple's lyrical storytelling brings hope, inspiration, and a message that love's expectations are not of us, but for us, and that life reveals its magic in forms and in places we least expect. Grappling with the vicissitudes of modern art, the fickle publishing industry, tempestuous prima donnas, and caddy ex-girlfriends, Whipple's Dasha tells the endearing, hard-luck tale of a man destined to come full-circle back to himself; even if that circle has a few unexpected chinks. Told with wit, mystery, and in a narrative style sure to charm, Dasha teaches an inspirational lesson for modern times that leaves readers feeling good about love and its possibilities; despite the chinks.

In the gripping tale Shadow Fields, a successful Wall Street investment banker deals with feelings of detachment and self- destruction when his perfect world starts to crumble.
