Description

<p style="margin:0px 0px 14px;padding:0px;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;"><strong>&quot;A somber, disturbing mystery fused with a scathing look at the fashion industry. </strong><strong>Mangin writes in a confident, razor-edged style.&quot;</strong><strong> - Kirkus Reviews</strong></p><p style="margin:-4px 0px 14px;padding:0px;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;"><strong>Condom dresses and space helmets have debuted on fashion runways.</strong></p><p style="margin:-4px 0px 14px;padding:0px;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">A dead body becomes the trend when a coat made of human skin saunters down fashion's biggest stage. The body is identified as Annabelle Leigh, the teenager who famously disappeared over a decade ago from her boyfriend's New York City mansion.</p><p style="margin:-4px 0px 14px;padding:0px;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">This new evidence casts suspicion back on the former boyfriend, Cecil LeClaire. Now a monk, he is forced to return to his dark and absurd childhood home to clear his name. He teams up with Ava Germaine, a renegade ex-model. And together, they investigate the depraved and lawless modeling industry behind Cecil's family fortune.</p><p style="margin:-4px 0px 14px;padding:0px;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">They find erotic canes, pet rats living in crystal castles, and dresses made of crushed butterfly wings. But Cecil finds more truth in the luxury goods than in the people themselves. Everyone he meets seems to be wearing a person-suit. Terrified of showing their true selves, the glitterati put on flamboyant public personas to make money and friends. Can Cecil find truth in a world built on lies?</p><p style="margin:-4px 0px 0px;padding:0px;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;"><strong>In high fashion modeling, selling bodies is organized crime.</strong></p>

Story Behind The Book

I read somewhere if you can’t find the sort of book you’re searching for, write it yourself. I suppose that’s what I’ve done. Twenty-five years ago "The Healing Light" by Agnes Sanford changed my life. As a Christian wife and mother, Mrs. Sanford explored healing prayer in a manner that broke through the conventions of the middle of the twentieth century, yet she remained true to her faith. "Ever-Flowing Streams" uses my experiences to illustrate the lessons I’ve learned about healing through the years. The term Ever-Flowing Streams popped out at me as I thumbed through the Bible trying to come up with an image for the healing energies that pour through the cosmos. The modern connotation of “streaming” in cyberspace seemed a fitting metaphor for unseen frequencies of energy. It ties in the ancient image of life-giving streams of water with today’s life-giving vibrations of Reiki and other energy-healing modalities. Many Christians may question the “purity” of my faith as they read about the avenues I’ve explored and some of the startling events that have unfolded. I hope people will read it with an open mind and heart. My greatest desire for "Ever-Flowing Streams" is that it will serve as an inspiration for others to discover their own healing capabilities. "Ever-Flowing Streams" is one woman’s story, but everybody’s possibility.
