A Desolate Woman tells the tragedy of seventeen-year-old Mara, who is eager to conquer life. Mara is an average girl who is working hard toward her dreams and ambitions. Suddenly her world comes to a crashing end when she is raped at a party by her best friend’s boyfriend. Mara sadly finds herself pregnant and HIV positive. The relationships that she previously valued lose all of their significance. The once inspirational, determined, and positive girl becomes a mean, bitter and hateful woman. Her daughter, the product of her rape, Chelsey, tries her best to encourage her mother to give her pain to God before she dies. A Desolate Woman is the journey of a woman caught between tragedy and triumph whose only question to God is why.

Riveting,
By SUV "B. L. A." (Clarkston, GA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Desolate Woman (Paperback)
I had the priviledge of being exposed to this author's story before she was picked up by a "big time publisher." As a man I traditionally don't go for these types of stories but something about the way Lejon conveys this story transcends gender, class, and ideology. She makes you deal with the all too common reality of life as it is--yet inspiring you to hope. Read it and weep--then go on and live your best life!
