Overview
Two homeless teen-aged girls are "rescued" from the mean streets of Los Angeles and eagerly exploit new opportunities that turn the tables on the women who try to help them. At the end of the 20th century, some of the characters in "Our Lady of West Hollywood" are striving to gain a foothold in the film industry and some simply like to watch. All of them are prey to sexual and spiritual dilemmas which threaten to upset their precarious lifestyles. The reader is admitted inside the doors of Hollywood parties and premieres as well as kitchens and bedrooms. In the superficial but high-stakes Los Angeles fast lane, we meet people who have risen to extravagant levels of success and others who have fallen through the cracks. This "Hollywood novel" is comic in tone but not superficial; it goes beyond the familiar searching-for-fame-and-fortune scenario and examines how human values are undermined by the entertainment circus of electronic media. www.fellow-travelers.com
