Unshackled from the strictures of her strict Seventh-Day Adventist upbringing, Eve (the younger Rochelle) marries quickly. But her appetite for sensuality can barely be sated and life quickly becomes complicated, especially when her husband agrees to an open marriage. At twenty-four, she loses grip on everything she once believed about love, loyalty, faith and monogamy. FALLEN is set over three weeks as Eve revisits her hometown of Perth during a hot West Australian summer. Breaking the rules of her open marriage, she shares her body, and sometimes her heart, with those she meets. But what's left for her unhappy husband when he arrives to join her on holiday? A memoir about sex, religion and getting married too young, FALLEN is a first person account of a soul floating dangerously free after a lifetime of restrictions. What does it mean when you've promised to love someone forever, and then you discover it's possible to love many, simultaneously? What does it mean when your whole life has been directed towards the Hereafter, but you can no longer believe in God? Maybe this moment, right now, is everything.
