So many turning points. A very convoluted narrative with tremendous character arcs--a very wise young protagonist vying against a diabolicaĺ antagonist for the affection of a broken, but privileged self-professed “superwoman.“ The nine year old E.J. meets the much older Mr. Red, in a fight to the finish. Will the surreptitious wedding supercede E.J.'s plan of stealing his mother (Dionne) from the irreparable Mr. Red? The secret lies within Dionne.
