Marche James is a drunk. A drunk that killed his dear wife in a horrific car accident. The doctors released him from the hospital when they decided he had recovered but they overlooked his mental injuries. Three years later, Marche remains a cruel and lonely man. Estranged from his daughter and living alone with his guilt, he desperately needed a reason on continue living.

Then one evening, while on his way to AA meeting, he met Aphrodite, a graffiti-defaced marble statue. Marche was so incensed at Aphro's degradation that he purchased a bucket and brush and began restoring Aphro to her former beauty. It was while performing this act of charity - or perhaps penance - that Marche fell in love.

But Marche's romance with Aphro meets with a series of distractions, like…

•His ongoing affair with vodka
•A 'less then cordial' relationship with the local street gang.
•Oh, and did I mention that Marche was the 'prime suspect' in the cop's investigation into his neighbour's murder.

Fortunately, toward the end of this tale, Marche's luck improves when he meets a psychic who sells Marche a magic talisman that has the power to transform Aphro into a living, breathing woman. "Just like the God in Greek mythology promised, " she said in a sultry voice.

And she was right about the similarities because Marche's love affair with his marble statue ends just as …. Sorry, you'll have to read the book to find out.
