false 6079881 2 Set in the slums of New Orleans, among clusters of crack houses and abandoned buildings, Dirty Little Angels is the story of sixteen year old Hailey Trosclair. When the Trosclair family suffers a string of financial hardships and a miscarriage, Hailey finds herself looking to God to save her family. When her prayers go unanswered, Hailey puts her faith in Moses Watkins, a failed preacher and ex-con. Fascinated by Moses's lopsided view of religion, Hailey, and her brother Cyrus, begin spending time down at an abandoned bank that Moses plans to convert into a drive-through church. Gradually, though, Moses's twisted religious beliefs become increasingly more violent, and Hailey and Cyrus soon find themselves trapped in a world of danger and fear from which there may be no escape. 6256531 30 3 2009 Dirty Little Angels total:84|5:18|4:42|3:19|2:4|1:1| 84 324 212 65 4 1 false false Mon May 11 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon May 11 21:16:38 -0700 2009 Mon May 11 21:16:58 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Wed Nov 04 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 04 18:54:42 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 04 18:54:42 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Tue Mar 24 16:57:38 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 24 17:04:32 -0700 2009 The Heart ...more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Nov 04 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 05 11:44:11 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 05 11:46:19 -0800 2009
