FICTION

Leah’s Gals

Greed, lust, drugs, and Capodimonte combust in this low-rent, Southern fried twist on a literary classic. Leah’s won the state lottery’s biggest prize, and while her three daughters are elated by her good fortune, when one of them dares to speak truth to power it sets off a devastating chain of events. Long-held grievances and newfound wealth lead to familial treachery, violence and death. Leah’s Gals contains mature content and adult themes: listener discretion is advised.
