Firebirds: Angela's Riveting Journey Through Luscious Romance and Rejection

by AJ Ryan

Overview

Angela grew up the daughter of parents who had no idea what to do with a wild child—but that didn't stop her from being one. This colorful, romantic and tragic story deftly weaves serious topics like high school bullying, attempted suicide, and young widowhood with the excitement of first lust, the discovery of muscle cars, and a decades-old mystery into a nostalgic tapestry that will appeal to any woman born into Generation X. With an accompanying movie and flavored with heavy doses of time-appropriate music from artists like Prince, KISS, George Michael and Poison, readers will find themselves fully immersed in the story and counting the seconds until the next leg of Angela's Riveting Journey Through Luscious Romance and Rejection. I was inspired to write this series based upon my own true life realizing that I was living things so bizarre and painful on one hand but then other adventures many women only dreamt about and we're probably reading another books. There had to be lessons in there somewhere. I'm inspired from my father who said in his last few days on this earth, "Life in An Interesting Journey" . Cheers to you dad! And my mother always saying "Hitch your wagon to a star, never be afraid to dream". The series Angela's Riveting Journey Through Luscious Romance and Rejection, coming to stores near you. Firebirds is its first release of the series. Enjoy! And you go write your own book!

About the Author

Growing up in the 1970s and 80s, the child of a pastor and a farmer, AJ Ryan found life in a small forestry community unexciting. But a life punctuated by tragic events forced her to acknowledge that her circumstances could change her—or she could change her circumstances. She took the lemons life handed her and made lemonade, and those experiences are reflected in books inspired by her own story.
