Why Depend on a Fairy Godmother When You Have Your Best Friends at Your Side?

Chicago, IL, October 03, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Chicago author Lisa Patterson captures the challenges of the contemporary woman in her debut novel Fairy Tales and Lies. While juggling motherhood and careers and dealing with issues of divorce, self-esteem, and sexual desires, best friends Elizabeth, Micky, Cassandra, and Desiré discover themselves and the importance of friendship in this enchanting new work by Ms. Patterson.

Elizabeth Chambers, Desiré Zion, Micky Le Gauthier, and Cassie Pearson pursue their dreams of love and success while maintaining a friendship that helps them meet many of life’s unexpected challenges.

Elizabeth Chambers is struggling to maintain her sanity while furthering her education, raising two children, and trying to save a crumbling marriage.

Michelle (Micky) Le Gauthier is a top fashion model, but her sharp tongue and childish behavior threaten to sabotage her career while her ongoing battle of wills with her husband cause her to run back to the safety of Chicago.

Cassandra Pearson seems to have it all. A successful entrepreneur, wife, and mother, she struggles to find balance and keep it all from falling apart.

Desiré Chambers seeks love in all the wrong places. While on the surface she is the picture of charm, wit, and intelligence, underneath she deals with issues of self-confidence as she strives to be satisfied with her life as a single African-American woman.

Battling to keep their families, relationships, and friendships strong, these determined ladies learn that a girl doesn’t need a Prince Charming to have a fulfilling life, not when she has a strong foundation of self-appreciation, friends, and family support.

Fairy Tales & Lies is a sensual story that takes you through the many twists and turns in the ever-eventful lives of four spirited divas. Lisa Patterson is a promising new voice in contemporary women’s fiction.
