WASTED

About the Book

Lisa Cole never had the love and attention she deserved from a compassionate mother. She never had the fatherly advice that most girls cherish. She never had the little dolls, pretty clothes, and trinkets that most gills take for granted. She was raised in a dysfunctional home with an alcoholic father and a gambling addicted mother Not all of this turned Lisa bitter, but it did shape the choices that she made in later life. The love she received from an older man satisfied her every wish. Until one stupid moment of infidelity erased it all. Everything was lost, just wasted.
