Synopsis

A modern Scheherazade in New Orleans in 1984. Alone. Abandoned in New Orleans with no friends or family, surviving only on her wits, Pearl Caldwell has finally put herself back on the road back to the real world when she's arrested on a false charge and thrown into jail. Among women of all sorts, Pearl finds a strength she never knew she had and a voice to tell her own story -- and the stories of the other women in the Orleans Parish jail.

Pearl will emerge a changed woman with a mission and a desire to confront the people who engineered her arrest and J.D. Bath for his part in stealing her car and clothes and abandoning her in a strange city where she knows no one.

About this title

From the Author:

12/11/2012:  I have just uploaded a revised edition of Among Women for Kindle that includes a sneak preview of the sequel, the first chapter of Among Men.

Among Women also contains additional text at the end of the last chapter in response to comments that the story ended a bit abruptly. I hope the added story will explain a few things and give reviewers a reason to revise their comments.

Among Men will be released in 2013.
