Are Charities Too Much In Your Face? - Controversial, Contemporary Fiction From U. K.Author
Most of us put to our favourite charities according to our means and then move on, but supposing you couldn't stop? Supposing like Susan Clayfield in "Guilt Trip" you gave everything, until your job, your home and your health were at risk?
Worcestershire U. K. (PRWEB) August 1, 2006
Patricia Harper wrote "Guilt Trip" after becoming concerned about the effect harrowing images of famine victims was having on sensitive people, on events over which they have very little control.
While accepting and admiring the positive side to charities and the well meaning face of humanity, "Guilt Trip" attempts to deal with a controversial subject through an off-beat romance, and a degree of humour. No one wants to knock charities, but maybe they should come with a government health warning!
A reproachful look from a famine victim sends Susan Clayfield on a "Guilt Trip" which will lead towards the loss of her job, her health and her home as she struggles to help her various charities, mainly for African victims of famine.
After a bizarre trip to Italy with her eccentric new boss, she realises her feelings have grown towards him, but he is besotted with Sally, a tart with muscular thighs. Back home, Susan's debts have spiralled out of control and her home is now at risk. Can she pull back from the brink?
