"It started young. Madeline McKay's own mother  opined the girl was born already 14 years old because she seemed sexually aware, even as a toddler. And what a beautiful little girl she was, with a perfectly symmetrical face, high cheekbones that seemed carved from calicutta marble, sparkling emerald eyes, vibrant red hair. Young Darlene–she wasn't Madeline yet–was aware of her beauty, precioussly sensual, seductive in a way that made adult women passively hostile and grown men actively uncomfortable. She knew it. She used it with a glorious absence of shame. "
