[2] In this contemporary Joan of Arc story, a troubled young woman believes that by resisting her desires, she can prevent nuclear war.
However, Jo-Jo's voices tell her that she must sacrifice her desire for a simple happiness with Jon if she is to fulfill the strange and elusive destiny in store for her.
The voices compel her to accept as part of her fate a relationship with Luke, a shadowy phone-sex entrepreneur who persuades her to come work for him.
Caught between these two men, her destiny and her desires, Jo-Jo withdraws from the demands and joys of the real world.
As a modern Joan of Arc tale, Sjogren's work examines the force of contemporary female martyrdom.
