Denise Higgins, a university student and lover of languages, is still reeling from the fatality of her fiancé, a chaplain in the army, when she is created to Ben Moreau, a French-Korean 19-year-old 3 years her junior. Unlike Denise, who's a staunch Bible audience and a seer of visions, Ben is a jaded profligate bounded by drug-taking friends. When Denise is appointed to be Ben's sober companion, she's a few hurdles to defeat. Least of which are Ben's money, Ben's ability to manipulate her, and her own growing infatuation with him. When Denise realizes that an early curse hangs over Ben's family collection, she begins to understand that her future is interwoven with Ben's. Onion is a bittersweet tale that follows the spiritual development of cynical but hypersensitive Denise and contemplative but adoring Ben. Their backgrounds could not be more different, both in culture and backdrop, as his prosperous Korean and French proprieties turmoil with her poor Jamaican Religious upbringing. The prejudices of the well-to-do, of Religious parents, atheist parents, and pagan friends also work against Denise, even as she issues their expectations and what she feels about herself. But Ben, with his great wit and selfish but kind heart and soul, challenges her expectations as well. Along, they grow to discover a fuller and richer life.
