Altadenans Sue and Pollyanna Redman have just released a new e-book novel, She Ain't Your Toy - She's My Sister:
Emerald, a sexually abused eleven year old, finds herself alone in trying to take care of her four year old sister. She strikes out into the inner city Los Angeles, searching for remnants of her family. She encounters the dangerous and the helpful, peole who are homeless and people involved in underage sex trafficking and violence. Resolution for Emerald comes in surprising ways.
Sue Redman lives in the Meadows and is a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) in Los Angeles where she works primarily with adolescent foster girls. She was once editor/owner of the local newspaper, The Altadena Chronicle. Pollyanna (who was called Christy when she lived in the Meadows) lives in the hills above Sacramento. She teaches in an independent study and online high school in Auburn. Book cover artist Peter Redman grew up here, too, and still lives in the Meadows.
The books is available thru Amazon and other e-book outlets.
