When Eve bit the apple, a catastrophe occurred and a legacy was born in this "seat of Mars." These are stories of those left behind. These are their extraordinary lives and the stories of how they managed to battle their way out of the playground of evil and surmount the obstacles like hate, jealousy, even murder to come out over on the other side to live their lives in peace and happiness. No longer would they feel as if they were the victims of a cruel joke and any minute someone was going to say, "Oh, we were just playing a trick on you." They overcame all the difficulties and trials and came out with triumph to this other Eden, demi-paradise, this fortress built by Nature for herself." Shakespeare)
