In each variation, the narrative changes slightly, with life-altering impacts.

Is there even such a thing as right? \u003ci\u003eConstellations of Eve\u003c\/i\u003e wrestles with the most intimate betrayals and the staggering personal costs of stifling artistic ambition, pursuing it to the exclusion of family, or letting it disperse in favor of an all-consuming love.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eRosewood, Abbigail Nguyen:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eAbbigail Nguyen Rosewood\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Vietnam, where she lived until the age of twelve.
