Whitman, Emily Radiant Darkness, 288 p. Harper, 2009. Language: G (5 swears).
Persephone loves her mother Demeter, but feels captive in the beautiful cage that her mother has created for her to live in. One day, however, a darkly handsome man appears and quickly courts the girl until she agrees to run off with him – to the Underworld. There Persephone is blissfully happy, until she realizes that her disappearance has caused problems in the world above.
This fleshed out version makes for a great love story.
