The Life of Lol - Andrew Birch - Bog

Lol is the story of a woman who begins life with nothing. Abandoned at birth, young Laurence Taylor grows up in a run down orphanage in the wrong part of town. After a childhood spent on the streets with colourful homeless characters such as Groucho and Dreamer, Lol turns to a life of crime and quickly becomes embroiled with gangsters, violence and prison. However, a good deed finally gives Lol a chance to turn her life around. She soon discovers some secrets about her past in a run down trailer park far away from her world of gangsters and drug dealers. Will Lol be able to leave behind the only world she has ever known? This is the world of the bottom feeder, the grifter and drifter, the low-life on the take for the easy way to the American dream, where justice often comes dispensed at the barrel of a gun? Only time will tell whether Lol can finally begin to make sense of her life.
