Esme Conway


Into Angels: a love story with a difference.

In a life that seems to be a succession of mistakes, Marianne searches - sometime in vain, it seems - for answers. Her search leads to a variety of insurmountable challenges, amusing adventures, profound insights and an unexpected resolution.

With a foot in two worlds: poverty and hardship, alongside the world of the ‘glitterati’ and vulgar wealth, Marianne Quinn endeavours to free herself from the clutches of a ‘fatal attraction’ – a love affair that threatens to destroy her. She has succeeded in distancing herself, on a few occasions; finding alternative employment. But these jobs peter out and she is back where she started.

Penniless, she is forced to leave home and it is the charity of friends and a little help from the ‘angelic realms’ that saves her from a life on the streets!
