A Pink Web of Deception
Three families become tangled in a pink web of deceit...
The city of Claymore (fictitious) is nestled in southern Indiana, a college town with a population of 61,000 which something for everyone. There is the older part of town located on the Eastside, with its poor district and high crime area.
Then travel to Westside, and you'd never know the other part of town existed. Here, the wealthy put down their roots. Gorgeous homes, more like mansions, line the streets, many with gated communities. Then in the central district, the college flourishes, and the middle-class is exploding. It's the '60s, and the city is expanding.
In Claymore, Indiana, a girl of seventeen, Donellen Michaels, lives with her alcoholic father. One night her dad's drinking buddy forces himself on her, and she becomes pregnant. Meanwhile, Larry Sturgis has kidnapped an infant girl for his barren wife, Gwen, who is suicidal. It was an impulsive decision when opportunity knocked. James and Amy Rafferty have two daughters, Cindy and Tammy. James is a prominent attorney in the town of Claymore. The story takes many twists and turns unraveling at times, then coming together for a victorious ending.
The Pink Web of Deception is merely a fictional tale set in the 1960s to 1980s. You might say it is the voice of many who have, or are searching for their physical DNA, the secret of who they are and from whence they came. It is ludicrous to say it's not important, that hunger to know is ingrained in mankind. After all, the Bible lists several genealogies. Everyone wants to know their beginnings and it is their right. some are fortunate to find out their physical identities, and some are not. Hopefully, this novel will light a candle of hope as they come to realize the only identity that anyone needs is their identity in Christ, (Spiritual DNA - Draw Near Adonai)

A lovely read
One of my best friends had recently shared an online article from our local newspaper on Facebook. The article was about my 6th grade teacher Mrs. Teitsort and how she had recently written a book titled A Pink Web of Deception. As an author myself, it was then my mission to find this novel and buy it. How many people can say that they read a book written by their former teacher? I really enjoyed this novel. It was fun and engaging. You feel for Larry and Gwen and what they encounter. Then you enter Amy and James' world and are engaged with their sorrow and and what becomes of their story. Let's not forget the novel starts with Donellen and what she endured that started the chain of events that leads to the climatic conclusion of the novel.
My only issue was that I wish this novel had been proofread better before being published. There are errors throughout that I picked up on. The main one I remember was two characters conversing and at the end of the conversation, it said a completely different character had replied, even though they were not a part of that paragraph or in that part of the story.
