From the tough-talking, lipstick-wielding girl in \"Lips,\" to the love struck lesbian artist in \"Fistful of Love,\" to the stoic single mother raising a disabled son and the infatuated widow trying to relive her past, Lam illuminates the hope, fear, and longing of what it means to be human.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Angela Lam\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e All Things That Matter Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.29d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780988542754\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring her more than 20-year career, Angela Lam has entertained and educated readers through poems, articles, essays, and novels.
