Synopsis

“Here’s the deal. In Greek mythology, The Trojan War was started over Helen of Troy. Ancient Chinese history tells of Wu Sangui who is considered by some to be a traitor to his country for having allowed Qing army past The Great Wall all over Chen Yuanyuan, a concubine he wanted. There are many classic tales of war waged by men over women; even The Bible tells of how the sons of Jacob slaughtered all of the men of Shechem while they were weak and recovering after agreeing to be collectively circumcised; premeditated revenge for the rape of Dinah, their sister. Here, in 1980s Red Hook, two men who could have anything and anyone they want, are at war-fighting and killing over me, Mistie Blue Daye. This is unreal. I know one thing, if I survive all this when all is said and done, I’m going to write a book. Isn’t that a saying? The truth is stranger than fiction. Well, my truth is strange as Hell!” -Blue
