Hecould have been my hero. He saved my life that night, a beautiful dark angel slicing through my fear and the water, dragging me from its deadly clutches. He should have been my hero. I thought maybe he was.

Who am I? I've forgotten the answer to that question long ago. Ever since I ran from that house, so desperate to escape, I left with only the clothes on my back and socks on my feet. After that day, I've only ever walked in stolen shoes.

When my sister asked me to take a course for her while she went out of town for work, I reluctantly agreed. I wasn't expecting to step into a university auditorium filled with overactive libidos lusting after the professor. And I certainly wasn't expecting to become one of those women myself, but there's something about Lorenzo Costello that makes him irresistible. He's the kind of man mothers warn their daughters about - mysterious, gorgeous, experienced, wild - and for some crazy reason he wants me.

Marco Donati is rich, ruthless - and more often than not - indiscriminate. Interested only in satisfying his sexual needs casually and frequently, he has no intention of changing a thing about his life.

Natalie Lambert is alone, broke, and new to the city when a chance encounter leaves her under the power and control of Marco Donati. As the story unfolds, tensions mount and trust is tested between two people who can't manage to stay away from each other.

Stella Lane thinks math is the only thing that unites the universe. She comes up with algorithms to predict customer purchases - job that has given her more money than she knows what to do with as well as way less experience in the dating department than the average 30-year-old. It doesn't help that she has Asperger's and that French kissing reminds her of a shark getting its teeth cleaned by pilot fish. She decides that she needs lots of practice - with a professional - which is why she hires escort Michael Phan.

Her exhibition "Sweet Treats" is a throwback to her roots, combining the bright, colorful wrappers of modern-day confections with articles symbolic of the innocence and simplicity of childhood. "Sweet Treats" is available online at -state.edu/art/faculty/bios/andrus_lynda/

Some are old-style pieces of clothing from Andrus' past that now are adorned with lollipop fringe. One is an abacus that uses candy pieces to keep count. There are worn metal charms, painted wagons and toys, colorful loopy rugs, even furniture decorated like a child's candy-filled dream.

"This series of work crosses the boundaries of fine art and fiber art," Andrus said. "I take an idea, then address the materials and techniques I need to execute it. A combination of sewing, painting, quilting, weaving, collage and assemblage might be used in a single piece. The union of fibers and fine arts opens up a whole new world of exploration."

"Sweet Treats" -- which Andrus has been actively displaying for about five years -- brings together her skills as an assemblage artist and her enduring fascination with bold, splashy color and simple shapes.

She was inspired to begin creating the pieces for "Sweet Treats" when she brought a bowl full of Starburst candy into class for her art students. As they unwrapped each piece, she began noticing the vivid colors and texture of each wrapper.

Thank you for talking about Lady BirdJohnson. I actually got a letter from Lady Bird Johnson a few yearsago, and she wanted me to know about Battery Park. And she wanted me tomeet Warrie Price. And that's how I met Warrie Price, was because LadyBird Johnson wrote me, and I had the chance to come here and tour theBattery with Warrie Price. And it looks better every time I come, moreand more planting. And I'm so thrilled to have this chance to be herewith you today.And especially with the members of the Boys Club of New York and theLower East Side Girls Club. Thank you all for joining us today.(Applause.) I got to plant a few native plants with the members ofthese two, the Girls Club and the Boys Club. They've done gardendesign. They've studied what they wanted to plant, the specific plantsthey wanted to put in.They've learned about native plants. They'velearned about invasive non-native plants. And I'm very proud to havethis chance to be with them.Thank you, Vin Cipolla, the President of the National Park Foundation.Thank you for what you do. (Applause.) I also want to introduce ReganGammon, who is the Citizen Chair of the National Park Foundation. She'swith us here. And of course recognize Warrie Price again, and MariaBurks, the National Park Service Commissioner for the National Parks ofNew York Harbor and the Superintendent of the Manhattan Sites.(Applause.) Thank you very much for everything you do. And I do hopethat all the boys and girls here get an idea in your mind about a jobthat you might grow up to want to have, and that is working in ournational parks, from our historical sites, like the White House - Iactually live in a national park - to our most magnificent natural siteslike the Grand Canyon or Yosemite or Acadia National Park or all ourbeautiful natural national parks.And then a special thanks to Lynda Johnson Robb. Thank you so much,Lynda, for joining us today. (Applause.) I wish your mother could behere. She would love every minute of this. She would love seeing theseboys and girls as they plant native plants here right in New York City.It would be so great to have her with us today.The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is a key partner with FirstBloom.First Bloom is a new program that combines both our nationalparks and the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. And the whole goalof it is to make sure young people learn about our fabulous naturaltreasures that we've all inherited as Americans, and especially aboutour native plants and wildlife.I want to recognize Susan Reiff, who is the Executive Director ofthe Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. Susan, thank you very muchfor joining us today. (Applause.)When people think of New York City, national parks probably are notthe first thing that comes to mind. But in fact there are 10 nationalparks in New York City and northern New Jersey. And we're standingright in front of one of them right now. Castle Clinton, that's behindme right here, is one of our national monuments. Castle Clinton wasconstructed to defend New York Harbor in the war of 1812. Since thenit's served as a theater, as an immigration depot, and even as anaquarium. And this landmark was spared from being torn down in 1946.Instead, Castle Clinton became a national monument and a great exampleof how our national park system protects our history and our heritage.This National Park Week we're celebrating what kids are doing tohelp preserve our natural and historic treasures. We're alsohighlighting programs like First Bloom, which are bringing kids into ournational parks, and bringing our national parks' ethic of conservationright into the communities of all of our children. By teaching kids howto protect native plants, First Bloom is giving our young people a headstart toward a lifetime of environmental stewardship.First Bloom was announced last October, and already it's sprung to lifein five pilot cities. At the White House last week, First Bloom hostedan activity to help kids plant the seeds of native Washington flowersthat would be planted in compostable cups, just like they did, and thenplanted at the new World War II Memorial and the FDR Memorial on theNational Mall.Several days ago I was with students in Dallas who were introduced toFirst Bloom. They did "shake a shrub." They shook shrubs to see whatwould fall out. And you know what falls out? I'm sure these kids do.Seeds fall out, bugs fall out - all of those sort of things fall out ofa shrub. Those plants that those kids in Dallas were planting will goto their nearest national park, which was Lynda's home, the LBJ RanchNational Park.Today's event is very special because this is the first First Bloomevent in New York City. All these boys and girls have spent a lot oftime preparing for today. They've searched the Battery for nativeplants. They've identified invasive species. They've done art projectsand garden designs. They've planted the native seeds in biodegradablecups. And some of these kids have even seen Zelda. Do you all know whoZelda is? Zelda is the wild turkey that lives here in New York City,and some people can see it right around here in the Battery.Today your study and hard work is taking root.The gardens you'vedesigned are being stocked with beautiful plants that are native toManhattan, like Bluebells, Blue-eyed Grass, Blue Wood Aster. Apparentlysome of you share my favorite color: blue. You've chosen these plantscarefully to make sure there will always be something colorful bloominghere in Battery Park, no matter what the season.And, of course, we're not the only ones who are going to get to enjoythis beautiful display. Your gardens will be seen by thousands ofAmericans who come to visit the Battery and this national monument.What a great way to celebrate National Park Week.Thank you for inviting me to participate today. Special thanks to FirstBloom and the Battery Conservancy, and to all of the young people here -the Boys and Girls Clubs who have planted these native plants.(Applause.)President Franklin Roosevelt once said, "There's nothing so American asour national parks." So through First Bloom and the work of theNational Park Foundation, we can make sure that all young Americanslearn to know and love our national parks. Thank you all very, verymuch, and thank you especially to the young people here. (Applause.)God bless you all, and God bless America. (Applause.)END 11:16 A.M. EDT
