About Too Pretty To Be Good
Product Description A half-orphan, the town slut, unlovable by all. The one the boys liked enough to touch, but not enough to claim. Hands clasped in the dark of closets, but not in the hallway at school. Did you know you can get paid for touching boys in closets? Saddled with a bad reputation, grieving the death of her father, navigating a hostile world of religiosity, hypocrisy, and abuse, Lindsay escapes her ramshackle hometown of Evilland, Virginia, looking for redemption in all the wrong places. Journey across sweat-soaked stages dotted with wadded dollars and the dreams of a thousand women, to the hallowed halls of the ivory tower where florescent lights and tenured dinosaurs reign, to find out how one woman straddling worlds learns to love herself, despite all odds. Speaking with realness, rawness, and relatability, Too Pretty To Be Good is a love letter written directly from the heart of a woman to the people she's loved before-including, finally, herself. Anyone looking to find and forgive themselves regardless of their pasts should look no further than this book. Too Pretty To Be Good teaches us that we are whole and worthy in spite of-in fact, because of-who and where we've been before. From the Back Cover A troubled youth, they'll say, daddy issues--these are the citations people will give when explaining why a girl turns into a woman like me. I am guilty of all of these and more. Yet stronger than these streams leading ever toward my fate, there is one reason that never makes the list: a portrait of a goddess, drawn by a child in the dark. A half-orphan, the town slut, unlovable by all. The one the boys liked enough to touch, but not enough to claim. Hands clasped in the dark of closets, but not in the hallway at school. Did you know you can get paid for touching boys in closets? About the Author Lindsay Byron is a strip club veteran, former English professor, and lifelong writer based in Atlanta, Georgia. Lindsay developed a name for herself on social media as a storyteller under the alias of "Lux ATL." She hails from Evilland, Virginia, the final capital of the Confederacy, where tobacco once was king, but now Oxycontin takes the throne. After a traumatic youth in this treacherous landscape, Lindsay escaped Evilland by dancing her way across strip club stages throughout the South--collecting three English degrees in the meantime--before finally finding her calling as a preacher for women's empowerment in the role of Head Priestess of the Stripcoven, a rag-tag community of misfit girls. Lindsay holds a PhD in American Literature from Georgia State University, as well as a doctorate in the school of hard knocks. She is a published scholar on the topic of unruly women; you can find her article "Rewriting Elizabeth'' in the Summer 2014 edition of Southern Cultures quarterly. In her free time, Lindsay enjoys hiking, surfing, dancing, playing music, and snuggling her three-legged dog.
