Dunni Olatunde Lilies Among Thorns

Annotation

A young teenage girl is wrenched from a sheltered life with her loving grandmother into the jarring, ruthless world of prostitution through the hands of a callous relative. Lost, confused and overwhelmed by the temptation to resign to fate she barely hangs on to a thin ray of hope ignited by an old woman's counsel, strengthened by a friendship with a witty runaway and perfected by an unexpected encounter.Her estranged mother struggles with a past, an unsavory relationship and a burden she can no longer carry.Inside the maze of deceit, victimization and intimidation is a story of salvation and forgiveness made possible by the love of a heavenly father who alone can help them find their way back home.
