And Stella Turns a Mom is a journey from the mundane corporate scenario to the Cosmic Truth revealed to open the human psychological perception--especially the female perception--towards the self, sexuality, motherhood and the cosmic responsibilities and realization of an individual in everyday life and work. It is the unfolding of a male psyche towards discovering the female psyche and the social as well cosmic value of humanity and realization of the soul and energy-level balance of all the cosmic beings aligned to the self-area of defining the 'me' sector of possession. The sense of self as a resource in the individualistic, social and cosmic quest of self-discoveries is covered in a postmodernist and, at times, sub-verse language. The experimental use of language and alternative cultural perception of observing human relation linked and juxtaposed to social and soul-level evolution is focused upon in the work. Stella, the symbol of the female heart-mind-body and the humanity of motherhood defined in the individual responsibilities of creating and holding a state of stability from a spiritual viewpoint, expressed in the language of consciousness theories, in the guise of love for a woman and mother, from a man's point of view.

Sometimes your future has to wait on a bad boy.

Sitting on top of the water tower overlooking her tiny town, she doesn’t see a thing she’ll miss when she finally makes her dramatic exit. She just has to get the guts to leave. Dane roars into town on his prized Harley-Davidson, running from a whole lotta nothin’ to take a job as a mechanic. He bumps into Stella at the perfume shop where she works and decides his only goal in life is to own her. The couple rip through each other, shocking the town with their antics on the water tower, late nights of drinking, jumping the creek on Dane’s bike, even getting in a knife fight with the locals. But small towns tend to close ranks, and when one of Dane’s fights over Stella turns deadly, the couple has to decide -- does their love run deeper than their reputations? -- "Deanna Roy has created a tuck-at-your-heart yet edgy nontraditional romance. The star-crossed lovers are destined for a host of insurmountable problems in a rural Missouri town where one of them is home-grown, and the other an intruder viewed with suspicion." -- Loretta Giacoletto, author of Free Danner
