Overview

Born to teen parents in 1964, Katie's parents treated her like a showpiece - and a punching bag for her resentful mother. Her life revolved around flashing camera bulbs and tyrannical abuse by both her parents.. Despite suspicion surrounding what took place behind the Pryor's closed doors, friends, family, and professionals alike remained silent.

Believing that Katie was not his child, her father did the unthinkable in an effort to gain the truth from his wife. Katie never would forgive her mother for her reaction to the molestation, even after her tormentor died in a horrific accident.

Leaving Leda to raise the young teen Katie alone, she became more resentful and violent toward her only child. Katie becomes what would be termed a 'problem child' and runs away from home to make her way on the streets of Toronto.

Katie struggles and eventually finds peace - until duty calls her home to care for an invalid mother.

Strong characters and the life-altering events that follow them will keep you riveted to the very last word. Angels Wear Lipstick is the first of a series. The second book follows the struggles of Katie as she cares for her ailing mother.

*Both novels are stand alone, and can be read as separate stories.*

(* Names have been changed to protect the innocent.)

Contains adult content. Intended for audiences 18-up.
