DESCRIPTION:
Kailee Johnson has a voracious appetite for men. "There are 3 types of men when you're on the prowl—the tasty morsel, the hottie, and the nice guy."
A successful and powerful businesswoman in the male dominated New York construction industry, she anchors her glamorous lifestyle in the up and coming "6th borough" of Jersey City, where Kailee aggressively pursues money, designer shoes, men, and cocktails.
One day she wakes up to the smell of booze, shame and regret to proclaim the powerful words "I need help." Her search for healing leads to a clairvoyant in Manhattan, to the deepest reaches of her subconscious mind, and to the New Mexican scene of a repressed childhood memory where sexual abuse changed her life forever.
Kailee fights a ferocious battle to reclaim her shadows by battling old ways, fears and a traumatic ecosystem to uncover the powerful and sensitive woman within. Her story will entertain you, make you laugh, cry, and sing triumphant at her journey.

REVIEWS:
Writer’s Digest called Fuchsia Parade exemplary in its structure, organization, and pacing. “Overall, I loved [the author’s] style. I thought she handled it with grace where called for, and laid out a story that would be relatable and appealing to tons of different readers.
“An intriguing and powerful book. The author pulls the reader into the beautifully flawed life of the main character and takes the reader on a journey filled with sarcasm, sex, alcohol, success, truth, and healing. This book will be hard to put down and will leave you wanting more in the end." -Amazon Review
“The type of central female character that great feminist novels are made of—complicated, flawed, badass, powerful, yet tender and compassionate upon further reveal through layers of story. We come to know Kailee as a heavy drinker, hard partying woman, well-connected socialite, and someone who has the type of self-confidence we all wish was instilled into us growing up as girls.” - Girl Talk Headquarters
