When he is angry, clouds darken. When he cries, rivers burst their banks. And when he touches a basketball, deities want courtside seats.

The Gods will one day tire of sports fans, their fickle allegiances and their prayers to Demi.And when that moment comes, it won’t matter how special he is. Only the women in Demi’s life, the mothers, the Goddesses, will stand between him and a lightning bolt.
