by Susen Edwards (Author)
Based on a compelling and sometimes tragic true story, this novel follows young mother Ava from the go-go bars of the 1970s to the heart of Florida's drug trade to a Kenyan prison to, ultimately, a place of forgiveness, faith, and love through recovery.
Inspired by a gripping true story, Lookin' for Love begins in 1963, when Ava, nineteen and pregnant, marries a violent alcoholic and is disowned by her abusive mother. She bears two sons, leaves her husband, and turns to go-go dancing to provide for her children, using alcohol and drugs to numb herself to the degrading work. She then meets Mike, a charismatic drug dealer who promises to give her "a beautiful life." They move to Florida and begin working for The Crew, one of the largest drug smuggling organizations in the country. The Crew sends Ava and Mike to Kenya to find farmers to grow marijuana--but while they're there, their home is raided, they're charged with international drug smuggling, and Ava is sentenced to serve time in a Kenyan prison. What will it take for Ava to find freedom, faith, and love?Author Biography
