Joley, age 30, is dealing with her past through memories of two specific times in her life. At 14, without supervision from her absentee father or
her insecure mother, who needs someone to blame, she becomes involved
in a relationship with a strange “Guy.” He has been watching her from afar
and feels a strong desire to take care of her. At 18, we see that she has
run away and is on the road with a young man she hardly knows. What
these men mean to her ability to take control of her memories, as well as to
see and understand herself, is the crux of Blood Sky. The 30-year-old tells us of the abuse she has suffered, imparts the childhood she survived, and conveys the adult she has become through beautifully poetic language.
