A/K/A: A Novel - Hardcover
An intricate and daring novel centered on the identities that two women create for themselves. Margaret Smyth is an escort for women who assumes different names and identities for each of her clients while struggling to finish law school to ensure your future. BJ, a soap opera actress under the name Jill Willis, has a melodramatic personal life that rivals that of the charater she plays on television. Initially strangers, as their identities begin to unravel, these two women are drawn--to each other and to salvation.

About the Author:

"The author paints a compelling picture of two very rich characters whose lives are destined to collide...[The story] builds to an exciting peak and by the end the reader is hooked." --Library Journal
"Read a/k/a slowly, savor the deftness with which Robson writes, and let her text work like 'a kiss on the shoulder' that 'unfolds into a bite.'" --"Lesbian Review of Books
"Slowly, tantalizingly, this well-crafted novel weaves the threads of these women's lives together, divulging a bit more background here, a chance encounter there...fascinating." --Booklist
