Here's what the Publishers Weekly Reviewer said about THE MISEDUCATION OF APRIL HILLSON:
Orphaned at age 17, April is thrust into the world of high society.
By the time she's 18, the ward of Philadelphia blueblood Richard Hillson has become his wife.
Twenty-two years later, April is evaluating the years leading up to her divorce and isolation from
the only world she has ever known. Alternating between flashbacks is her present-day struggle
to rebuild her life after years of being a society matron. This witty rags-to-riches tale is
filled with well-defined characters: Victoria Billingsgate Hillson, the controlling family matriarch;
Richard, the shallow billionaire husband; Roxie, the stripper/waitress turned horticulture
student who befriends April and finds her a job; Dan, the cop with a heart of gold;
and various society wives straight out of the film The Women. The novel culminates
in double crosses and upper-class backstabbing.
