The Shameless Hussies is a story about a woman who seems to have lost everything. Divorced from useless husband, Colin, and estranged from daughter Kate, since her marriage to 'android' Peter, Sally is just settling into her new life when her worst nightmare comes true. She finds a lump in her breast, which leads with terrifying speed to mastectomy, and chemotherapy. Despite--and because of this--Sally's life is transformed for the better. The catalyst is her meeting with an extraordinary group of women, The Shameless Hussies, who show her that there is life--and even love--after the worst happens.
The first chapter is here for anyone who cares to take a look and get in touch.
