Angela Madigan is intelligent, beautiful and cunning. She's a selfish, tightly-structured clinical psychologist more concerned about her hair than her patients. It will take a bolt of lightning to change Angela Madigan.
About the Book
Beautiful and cunning Angela Madigan, a forty-one year old clinical psychologist, has the world by the tail.
Driven by childhood poverty and an over-bearing, Bible-thumping mother, Angela has finally clawed her way to security and wealth beyond her wildest dreams.
Between Thomas - Angela's rich, workaholic husband, Rob - her young lover, and Connie - the lesbian friend secretly in love with her, Angela enjoys a life of comfort, excitement and illicit pleasure.
Her hair and nails take precedence over the trivial, mundane problems of her patients, who are, to Angela, boring and easily eradicated.
When Angela accidentally runs over and kills homeless "Doc" on an isolated stretch of mountain road in western Maryland, her life is suddenly and forever changed. Afterward, lies and deceit are the tiny hammers that chip away every tangible aspect of Angela's life until nothing remains but the raw core.
Her sloppy, irresponsible actions eventually lead Angela to The Trinity House, a privately funded shelter for juveniles, where she meets her match, Olga Mengle: an old German woman who runs the place with uncomplicated wisdom. It's here where Angela ultimately finds atonement, acceptance and unconditional love.
About the Author
Sandra Davis Dorsett was born in California and spent most of her growing up years in Los Angeles. In grade school, she was a renowned tomboy, famous for a good left hook and her bag of marbles.
A lanky teenager in the 1960's - Sandra was a crusading rebel for the underdog, a trait which followed her into adulthood. Fortunately, she left the brawling and the marbles in her childhood, but the scruffy tomboy still surfaces every now and then. Her early years in Compton, California, were chaotic, but she survived with minor cuts and bruises. The more serious injuries came from falling from trees and rolling down hills in a cardboard box.
Sandra and her husband, Steve, live on Lake Conroe in Texas. Their hobbies include horse back riding, hiking, boating and travel.
Sandra has been writing short stories since she was old enough to take a pen to paper. A Wink at Midnight is her first novel.
