Bishop Street (Paperback)

Bishop Street is an emotional, gut-wrenching journey of survival, friendship, and second chances... Margaret Gray for the past twenty years has hidden behind a facade of normalcy. She wasn't always rich and famous. At the age of seven her mother abandons her on the steps of the Bishop Street Orphanage. Under the cruel tutelage of Sister Theresa, Maggie develops a powerful bond with her roommates, Elizabeth, Lucy, and Randolph. Their close friendship fortifies them against the years of abuse. Then at eighteen, one-by-one they are pushed out into a world they knew nothing about. With one small suitcase and a handful of memories-will they survive? Maggie is thirty-nine and a successful author, but her nightmares are back and she is unable to keep all that she has built from crumbling around her. It's been twenty years since she's heard from her friends. Why didn't they answer her letters? Why didn't they contact her? Had they survived... ? Or... had Sister Theresa deceived them with lies, aiming to destroy their friendship, forever? Sister Theresa is dead and with nothing left to fear, Maggie hires Damon Depre, a private investigator to find her friends and seek the truth.
