Zoe Morton

Zoe Morton is the title character in the sixth book in the Free Spirits series, Zoe's Quest, and also appears in Priscilla's Transformation and Sophie's Wisdom, as well as being mentioned in Tessa's Vision. Twenty-one years old at the time of the first book's events, she is petite with short blonde hair, and has a large tattoo of the Grim Reaper's head on her back. Her early life is spent with her overprotective and controlling mother and stepfather, who try to keep her from having sex and becoming pregnant, as a way of preventing her from passing on the Huntington's Disease which killed her father and which will inevitably take her life. Zoe rebels, first by having a secret relationship in her hometown in Oregon, then hitchhiking to Stallbrook to stay with her cousin Ariadne. Zoe's plan is to fulfill a list of sexual escapades, then commit suicide before the disease takes effect. She falls into trouble and must stay in Stallbrook for ninety days, seeing Doctor Marshall Chasen for counseling. She finds help in fulfilling her fantasies with the city's Young Poly group and members of the Free Spirit Connection, including engaging in sex work on Creston Street. By the end of the list, where she hires Bridget for an all-day session, she has second thoughts about her plans for suicide, but finds a purpose in her life to go on with the time she has left.
